DeliverablesThe primary duty of the IRIN is to “Interpret imagery and post findings on .. maps”.A base map with interpretation overlay is the primary product.This has evolved from a hardcopy map with mylar overlay to a digital or paper map produced in GIS.

IR GIS ProductsShapefiles
Works in all versions of ArcGIS
Managing directories and files takes time – do prior to receiving imageryStandardizing directory/file names and structure saves time, reduces stress, and simplifies communication and handoffs to other IRINs/SITLs/GISSs
![Page 8: Unit 8 – Deliverables. Unit Objectives List the IR products delivered to the incident by the IRIN Discuss the mode of delivery in different scenarios](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e555503460f94b4c925/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
IR GIS ProductsSome layers will not always be applicable (e.g. no intense heat during mop up)…..but every applicable layer should be produced regardless of what an individual SITL might request.Need consistency for documentation and changes in SITLs.

The Map – Remote InterpretationResponsibility of hardcopy production switches to Incident/GISS (communication about delivery is key)SITL may only want GIS layers and no map but…...always produce a .pdf of the map for documentation and a “quick look” that doesn’t require ArcGISAgree on size of layout (file size may be an issue)
Our standard is 11x17
![Page 13: Unit 8 – Deliverables. Unit Objectives List the IR products delivered to the incident by the IRIN Discuss the mode of delivery in different scenarios](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e555503460f94b4c925/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
IR Log
This should be filled out every night after interpreting and included with the products delivered to the SITL.
Calculated acres are always entered here and put on map if SITL requests it.
The IR log acts as a briefing – issues with imagery, fire activity, trigger points, etc.
![Page 14: Unit 8 – Deliverables. Unit Objectives List the IR products delivered to the incident by the IRIN Discuss the mode of delivery in different scenarios](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e555503460f94b4c925/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Partial coverageComplete coverage of fire is assumed
If not, need to explicitly show that on the map and state it in the daily log
Cloud cover, not flown, problems w/ imagery, etc.

PDFsShould be able to keep under 10MB
300 dpi and normal quality is usually sufficient
Reduced pdfs can be created if you have full Adobe license
Geocoded pdfs are the default in ArcGIS export
![Page 21: Unit 8 – Deliverables. Unit Objectives List the IR products delivered to the incident by the IRIN Discuss the mode of delivery in different scenarios](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e555503460f94b4c925/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Communication with SITLExchange contact info, best times/way to get a hold of them (text message, email, phone)
What/how to deliver productsAdditional products as time permits
Zoomed maps, smaller handouts, KMZs
Stress the time imagery was collected
Be accessible – PM briefing if possible, provide cell #
![Page 22: Unit 8 – Deliverables. Unit Objectives List the IR products delivered to the incident by the IRIN Discuss the mode of delivery in different scenarios](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e555503460f94b4c925/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Communication with SITL Remember – The IRIN works for the SITL!
Do not distribute digital or hardcopy products without the approval of the SITL
Once data is posted to NIFC ftp site it becomes responsibility of the incident
![Page 23: Unit 8 – Deliverables. Unit Objectives List the IR products delivered to the incident by the IRIN Discuss the mode of delivery in different scenarios](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e555503460f94b4c925/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Coordination with GISSGood source of base imagery, intel and updates
Exchange contact info
Agree on projections, data exchange protocol (posting of new perimeter)
Set up schedule or communication protocol
![Page 24: Unit 8 – Deliverables. Unit Objectives List the IR products delivered to the incident by the IRIN Discuss the mode of delivery in different scenarios](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e555503460f94b4c925/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Image Time Stamp is Mountain time
Be sure you know the local incident time!
![Page 25: Unit 8 – Deliverables. Unit Objectives List the IR products delivered to the incident by the IRIN Discuss the mode of delivery in different scenarios](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e555503460f94b4c925/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Delivery Date vs. Collection DateDelivery date refers to date of morning briefing – used for naming folders, logs, maps
Collection date refers to date of collection – used for naming shapefiles (along with collection time)
Can have same collection date for different deliver dates –
Imagery collected at 0120hrs on 9/25 used for 9/25 morning briefing
Imagery collected at 2025hrs on 9/25 used for 9/26 morning briefing
![Page 26: Unit 8 – Deliverables. Unit Objectives List the IR products delivered to the incident by the IRIN Discuss the mode of delivery in different scenarios](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e555503460f94b4c925/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Example – 2 flights on same day2006_pigeon_ir base_data products 20060925 20060925_0122_Pigeon_IsolatedHeatSources.shp 20060926 20060925_2025_Pigeon_IsolatedHeatSources.shp
ir_data 20060925 20060926
projects 20060925
20060926
Data shapefiles always have date and time of acquisition.Data folders have date of morning briefing.
Why? Because users of products don’t always know when the flight occurred. They’re just looking for “this morning’s IR”.
![Page 27: Unit 8 – Deliverables. Unit Objectives List the IR products delivered to the incident by the IRIN Discuss the mode of delivery in different scenarios](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e555503460f94b4c925/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
ArcGIS versionsGeodatabases are not always backward compatible
We deliver shapefiles
Supposedly 10.2 mxd files are compatible with 10.1
mxd files are not always backward compatible but you can “save a copy” as an earlierversion mxd

BriefingRemote – by phone, contact info
Establish a schedule
Many GISS now look for this data at ~0430 hrs
Your daily log acts as a briefing document when you are not there!
At camp, face to faceBriefing for SITL at ~0530 hrs
