FEMS is a wildland fire IT application which will support wildland fire preparedness and decision-making with better access to fire environment datasets and online analysis tools. The FEMS application will be developed over a few years with version 2.0 now live. View the release notice: FEMS 2.0 Release Notice. FEMS 2.0 includes the following functionality:

• An interactive user interface with maps, tables and charts which displays RAWS weather.
  • These datasets include the full history of archived observations for each RAWS.
  • Additionally, 7-day hourly forecast of weather (provided by NOAA).
• Field Sample Module replaces the National Fuel Moisture Database (NFMD)

Additional future development will integrate NFDRS outputs to replace WIMS functionality.

WIMS, the Weather Information Management System, remains operational during FEMS development. WIMS will continue to be the official system for applying NFDRS to weather data until the WIMS Replacement Release of FEMS is operational and ready for the transition.
