What is Planscape?
Planscape is a free, open source decision support tool designed to help teams doing wildland planning identify the optimal areas on their landscape to treat for wildfire resilience. Planscape also helps planners locate where to treat to preserve endangered habitats and optimize for carbon related requirements. Using the latest available data, and by integrating the ForSys planning tool for treatment area identification and ranking, Planscape ensures planners are using the most up-to-date and vetted resources for their planning needs.
How can Planscape help my team plan?
Planscape allows teams to plan treatment scenarios together, enabling people to run scenarios according to their area of expertise. Today Planscape uses the California Regional Resource Kit data, which provides the most recent data for the state. Using this data, planners can identify their area of interest and their treatment goals, and run multiple scenarios together to identify the optimal treatment areas within a landscape. While Planscape is designed for very large landscapes, it can be used on projects of almost any size.
Your Privacy Matters!
