RSFWSU Mission¹

The mission of the Remote Sensing / Fire Weather Support Unit (RSFWSU) is to service and support Remote Automatic Weather Stations (RAWS) according to interagency agreements and the Interagency Wildland Fire Weather Station Standards & Guidelines (PMS 426-3).

WEEKLY NONCOMPLIANCE REPORT

The Remote Automatic Weather Stations (RAWS) listed in the noncompliance report are overdue for annual service based on current WFMI information. These stations may be transmitting accurate meteorological data, but do not meet Fire Weather Station Standards for maintenance. Use of data from these stations to support critical fire-fighting decisions is not recommended. This report will be released on a weekly basis.

Roles control what a user is allowed to do within the WFMI Weather module. Each role consists of a set of tasks. Each user is assigned role(s), which allow the user to perform the tasks that belong to that role. Note that all users, by default, have the UserView role; this was automatically assigned when the user account was created. The table below lists the roles and the tasks available to that role.
