Forest Service Active Wildfire Mapping - Drought Info

Well, fire season is upon us. Hard to believe that we had snow and freezing weather just a few weeks ago here in the Sierra-Cascades. Now there are red flag warning over most of Northern California. Dry thunderstorms with lightning forecast this evening and Monday.

The Forest Service Remote Sensing Center provides Active Wildfire Mapping showing wildfires in the U.S. in real-time. They also provide Inciweb for more detailed information and updates on current and recent fires.

I've also provided links to a U.S. drought monitor.

Learn more about wildfires and drought in the U.S.

Stay Safe!

P.S. Last year I bought an older pumper fire truck from a local fire department. Last 3 days have been spent getting it all in top shape for the season - better safe than sorry.

Caliper Releases Maptitude 2013

I've always been a fan of Maptitude. Over time it has proven to be fast, robust, cost effective and includes all sorts of great data. You can read more about why I like Maptitude here.

This new release is no exception. I've found it to be faster and even easier to use. I think it is the best GIS going for those new to digital mapping and the more experienced.

Check here to learn about the new features in Maptitude 2013. Learn why, after using Maptitude for nearly 20 years, I still think it is the best.
