About the Planning Cycle
The Planning Cycle design is based on adaptive management techniques designed to help fuels managers perform common tasks and analyses. The stages of the cycle correspond to stages in the fuels planning process, proceeding through each stage helps you to more easily identify affected lands and establish fuels management objectives.
Click any stage of the cycle to choose that stage and bring up a series of ordered tasks associated with it. For example, by choosing the Strategic Planning stage, you are presented with options to compare weather, develop treatment alternatives, and perform hazard, exposure, and risk assessments.
Note: By default, the planning cycle will display the Landscape Evaluation tasks when it is opened.
