Geographic Areas Overview

Within the FRAMES Geographic Areas, wildland fire content is aggregated at a geographic level relevant to wildland fire management. The FRAMES Geographic Areas correspond to the boundaries of the 11 Geographic Area Coordinating Centers (GACC) designated by the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC). Each FRAMES Geographic Area provides an opportunity for collaboration between researchers and managers located within that particular area. Currently, FRAMES is collaborating on three Geoportal projects: the Alaska Fire Portal, the Northwest Fire Portal and the Southern Fire Portal. In each case, FRAMES is working with local researchers to provide access to geographically-based and nationally relevant data, documents, and tools.

	Alaska The Alaska Fire Portal provides information relevant to the state of Alaska, as well as northwestern Canada.
	Northwest The Northwest Fire Portal provides information relevant to the states of Oregon and Washington, as well as southern British Columbia.
	Southern The Southern Fire Portal provides information relevant to the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, eastern Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, eastern Texas, and Virginia.
