The identification of urban and rural priority areas is a requirement of all statewide assessments of forest resources, as specified in the S&PF Redesign guidance developed by the USDA Forest Service: State forest resource assessments will identify, describe, and spatially define forest landscape areas where forestry program outreach and activity will be emphasized and coordinated. Establishment of these priority areas is intended to (1) enable the efficient, strategic, and focused use of limited program resources; (2) address current state and national resource management priorities; and (3) produce the most benefit in terms of critical forest resource values and public benefits. This component of a states assessment should be geospatially based. Mapped priority areas provide a method for focusing on areas where federal investment can most effectively stimulate or leverage desired action and engage multiple partners. Mapping must enable the discovery of multistate areas in which collaboration can lead to stronger outcomes. Accomplishments using federal funds may be evaluated against priority areas to determine the effectiveness of S&PF program implementation. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><P><SPAN>Protecting Forests and Communities from Wildfire Risk (FIGURE 1b-3) The Protecting Forests and Communities from Wildfire Risk map shows areas of North Carolina where wildfire mitigation and preparedness efforts can reduce loss of life and property, and prevent degradation of the forest resource due to intense fires typical of southern forests. These lands rank high for wildfire susceptibility in the Southern Wildfire Risk Assessment System (ArcGIS software). Many of these areas are considered to be within the wildland-urban interface, and many are owned by individuals who may be unfamiliar with the role of fire in southern forests and firewise building principles.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV> |
