| Monitoring
Monitoring programs and protocols help managers better
understand and make decisions about the relationship
between fire and other components of the area's ecosystem.
An effective monitoring program serves a number of critical
functions in fuels management planning, implementation,
and successful accomplishments. and occurs continuously
from the collection of pre-planning baseline data through
analysis and sharing of long-term data with park staff.
Effective monitoring allows the identification of problems
in the early stages of an effort to provide a basis
to address concerns as most appropriate using cost-effective
solutions which are still available. Monitoring allows
for the determination of how treatments or actions achieve
project's primary fuels management objectives and fire
management goals. Monitoring is a key part of adaptive
management strategies and provides an evaluation critical
to the validation of current and future program efforts.
Listed below are some of the standard protocols currently
in use for fire and fuels management monitoring.

Fire Regime Condition Class (FRCC)
Fire Regime Condition Class (FRCC) is an interagency, standardized tool for determining the degree of departure from reference condition vegetation, fuels and disturbance regimes. Assessing FRCC can help guide management objectives and set priorities for treatments. |

FIREMON
The FIREMON project's primary objective is to establish a standard Fire Effects Monitoring and Inventory Protocol. Monitoring the effects of wildland fire is critical for: documenting fire effects; assessing ecosystem damage and benefit; evaluating the success or failure of a burn; and appraising the potential for future treatments. Specific objectives for monitoring depend on the type of fire. |

Landfire
The LANDFIRE project is a multi-agency, inter-disciplinary research and development activity designed to develop a consistent and accurate methodology capable of producing geospatial data of vegetation conditions, fire fuels, risks, and ecosystem status at the national, regional, and local scales for implementation of the National Fire Plan. A LANDFIRE Information Bulletin series is used by the project to communicate project progress to the general public. |
