Bringing Data to the Wildfire Community
The ReSHAPE program is committed to ensuring that national wildfire and fuel treatment data are widely accessible and used. We go beyond providing a tool by developing multiple pathways for land managers, researchers, and policymakers to engage with TWIG. Through consistent outreach, we aim to lower the barriers between data insight and on-the-ground action.
