Stakeholder Engagement

The FireSense Stakeholder Engagement team is dedicated to providing an avenue in which practitioners are directly linked with like-minded developers, fostering a unique method of co-development that focuses on practitioner needs. From early engagements with wildland fire communities, a call for assistance in matching researchers with appropriate agencies and operational end-users was raised, thus leading to the creation of an end-to-end engagement and co-design plan. The FireSense Stakeholder Engagement Team, in coordination with the FireSense Project Office and FireSense Implementation Team, seeks to assist operational end-users and decision-makers in a variety of settings to define gaps in their operational workflow, match research products with end-users, create product training, conduct user assessments to provide feedback to developers, and assist in the successful transition of research products into operations. By leveraging relationships across federal, state, local, and tribal governments, FireSense seeks to develop new partnerships for co-development and assessment/testing of products, which are critical components to FireSense’s objective of having a measurable improvement in U.S. wildland fire management.

If you’re a researcher or practitioner who would like to get involved with FireSense, please send the Engagement team an email with your name, organization, role, and primary area of expertise (Pre-Fire, Active-Fire, Post-Fire, or Air Quality), along with a short summary of how you can contribute, to firesense@cce.nasa.gov.
