Resources for Partners
Geospatial Tools
The Northern Colorado Fireshed Collaborative has developed two geospatial tools for partner use. These tools can be used to collaboratively develop informed projects, track targets across cohesive strategy, form stronger grant proposals connected to shared goals, report progress, inform storytelling, and can be a useful tool for the investment committee project selection.
1. Common Operating Picture
Goal: Live tracking of the Fireshed’s forestry project progress for better utilization of resources, visibility of organizational presence in communities, and future project planning. Requires login to ARC Online, must be added by CSFS. Email Izzy to be added (izzy.sofio@emberalliance.org.) You can also contact Izzy for a temporary login if your organization does not have ArcOnline access. Please add your fuel treatment projects – this will replace the need to submit project to CSFS every year, but will instead be a one-stop-shop for NCFC members.

2. PODs Dashboard
For partners to plan projects under a shared vision at scale. The tool ties PODs to the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy to better visualize, track, collaboratively plan, and align actions across the entire fireshed. PODs are a way to break up the landscape into manageable pieces for treatment, strengthening boundaries, and implementing Rx fire.
No login required. This tool will eventually incorporate treatment data from the COP, but currently is meant as a planning tool.
