LF Total Fuel Change Tool (LFTFC) - Facilitates editing LF rule sets to create customized surface and canopy fuel layers for local applications.
Wildfire Risk to Communities - website with interactive maps, charts, and resources to help communities understand, explore, and reduce wildfire risk.
State-and-transition simulation (ST-Sim) - Fully integrated spatially explicit simulation capabilities with the ability to include input rasters in GeoTIFF format for initial state classes, strata and ages and the ability to output rasters for these same variables as well as transitions and time since transition.
Compare fuel models spreadsheet-Joe Scott - allows a user to make quick, simple comparisons of the new fuel models with each other and with the original 13 fuel models
Updated - Compare fuel models spreadsheet-Joe Scott - Users can add custom fuel models to the list in the CompareModelsFour spreadsheet.
Landscape GeoTIFF File - a multi-band raster format, is commonly used by wildland fire behavior and fire effects models such as FARSITE and FlamMap.
