6/2/16 NIMO Assists R5 with Southern Sierra Tree Mortality

The Boise NIMO Team is in CA this week facilitating a planning meeting for Southern Sierra Tree Mortailty. The meeting included representatives from the R5 Regional Office, Sierra NF, Sequioa NF, and Stanislaus NF. Regional Forester Randy Moore opened the meeting with Leaders Intent. Randy and Deputy Regional Forester Jeanne Wade-Evans both actively participated in the meeting.

NIMO used the Intent Based Planning Process to identify Gaps. Factors were identified and validated centering around Political, Security, Economic, Social, Infrastucture, and Information Dimensions. Once the gaps were identified they were each categorized by priority and if they were currently actionable. Intent Based Planning is being taught by Misson-Centered Solutions in their NWCG L-481 Intent to Action course. More info on this course can be found at: https://mcsolutions.com

The objective of the meeting was to develop a Common Operating Picture between all USFS entities involved in Tree Mortality.

Tree Mortality is a long term event involving multiple Federal, State and Local agencies. NIMO will continue to be involved in Tree Mortality.
