Description: This data represents the five Assessment Areas of the BLM Fire and Invasives Assessment Tool (FIAT): Central Oregon, Snake/Salmon/Beaverhead, Northern Great Basin, Southern Great Basin and Western Great Basin. FIAT was developed using a process designed to identify strategies that ameliorate threats to Greater Sage-Grouse (GRSG; Centrocercus urophasianus) and their habitats. While the assessment is applicable across the range of sage-grouse, the analysis is limited to Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Management Agencies’(WAFWA) Management Zones III, IV, and V (roughly the Great Basin region) because of the significant issues associated with invasive annual grasses and the high level of wildfires in this region. It incorporates emerging science, regional findings, and local data in identifying management opportunities that counter detrimental ecological trends in wildfire, invasive annual grasses, and conifer expansion. The purpose of the assessment is to identify potential project areas and management strategies in highly valued greater sage-grouse habitats which, if implemented, would reduce the threats to greater sage-grouse.

Description: This data represents a management strategy of the Fire and Invasives Assessment Tool (FIAT). Project Planning Area (PPA) polygons are part of the FIAT Step 2 process. FIAT was developed using a process designed to identify strategies that ameliorate threats to Greater Sage-Grouse (GRSG; Centrocercus urophasianus) and their habitats. While the assessment is applicable across the range of sage-grouse, the analysis is limited to Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Management Agencies’(WAFWA) Management Zones III, IV, and V (roughly the Great Basin region) because of the significant issues associated with invasive annual grasses and the high level of wildfires in this region.

The purpose of the assessment is to identify potential project areas and management strategies in highly valued greater sage-grouse habitats which, if implemented, would reduce the threats to greater sage-grouse. Each of the five assessment area teams identified broad PPA's and associated proactive and reactive management strategies and associated vegetation treatments focused on the four program areas (fuels management, fire operations, habitat restoration and recovery, and post-fire rehabilitation management). The teams used focal habitats as the spatial starting point and through the Step 2 process, identified unique PPAs. Each PPA contains at least one focal habitat, and in many cases, several.

Description: This data represents a management strategy of the Fire and Invasives Assessment Tool (FIAT). Potential treatment area polygons identify treatment need, type, priority and timeframe within the Project Planning Areas. Potential treatment needs address Invasive Species, Coniferous Encroachment and Sagebrush Protection/Enhancement. Potential treatment areas are prioritized as High, Medium or Low priority.

Description: This data represents a management strategy of the Fire and Invasives Assessment Tool (FIAT). Emergency Stabilization and Rehabilitation (ESR) Priority Areas are also known as post-fire rehabilitation treatment areas. FIAT was developed using a process designed to identify strategies that ameliorate threats to Greater Sage-Grouse (GRSG; Centrocercus urophasianus) and their habitats. While the assessment is applicable across the range of sage-grouse, the analysis is limited to Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Management Agencies’(WAFWA) Management Zones III, IV, and V (roughly the Great Basin region) because of the significant issues associated with invasive annual grasses and the high level of wildfires in this region. It incorporates emerging science, regional findings, and local data in identifying management opportunities that counter detrimental ecological trends in wildfire, invasive annual grasses, and conifer expansion. The purpose of the assessment is to identify potential project areas and management strategies in highly valued greater sage-grouse habitats which, if implemented, would reduce the threats to greater sage-grouse. The ESR is a post-fire management strategy considered 'reactive', identifying treatments for emergency stabilization and rehabilitation of focal habitats and/or areas adjacent to or near focal habitats (see link to reports below). Polygons identify planning area names, current treatment needs with priority level (low,medium,high) and expected timeframe for acheiving objectives.

Description: This data represents a management strategy of the Fire and Invasives Assessment Tool (FIAT). Fire Operations Priority Areas data are also known as potential fire operations treatment areas. Fire Operations Priority Area polygons identify areas in the Step 2 FIAT process for highest priority for initial fire attack and stationing of resources. FIAT was developed using a process designed to identify strategies that ameliorate threats to Greater Sage-Grouse (GRSG; Centrocercus urophasianus) and their habitats. While the assessment is applicable across the range of sage-grouse, the analysis is limited to Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Management Agencies’(WAFWA) Management Zones III, IV, and V (roughly the Great Basin region) because of the significant issues associated with invasive annual grasses and the high level of wildfires in this region.
