The National Fire Weather Management Program is offering this grant to provide essential standards and guidelines for various fire weather stations. This initiative seeks to develop robust frameworks applicable to NFDRS (National Fire Danger Rating System) stations, dedicated Fire RAWS (Remote Automatic Weather Stations), and manual NFDRS weather stations. This grant is for the purpose of enhancing the reliability, consistency, and interoperability of data collected from these critical meteorological assets. By standardizing procedures and specifications, this research aims to improve the accuracy of fire danger predictions, optimize resource deployment for wildfire management, and bolster overall wildland fire safety. The funding opportunity supports detailed research into best practices and operational protocols to ensure all fire weather data collection points contribute effectively to national fire mitigation efforts.
