Wildfire Fire Progression Maps: A Spatial and Temporal Tool for Incident Storytelling Cassandra Hansen, Johns Hopkins University, Paul Doherty, NAPSG, German Whitley, GISCorps Holly Torpey, GISCorps Accurate wildfire information is critical to both the Incident Management Team (IMT) and the affected community. Underlying the fire perimeter polygons of fire progression maps lies a rich dataset. With increasingly sophisticated information systems, GIS can be used as a web platform for sharing geographic information in new and innovative ways. Fire mapping features enable progression maps to capture not only daily snapshots, but also the evolution of the incident through sequenced daily fire polygons. From these polygons one may analyze both daily fire activity and overall incident trends. This presentation examines the use of fire progression maps as a storytelling tool through incident case studies and applied cartographic methodology. This presentation was made at the 2021 annual meeting of the North American Cartographic Information Society (NACIS). For more information on NACIS, check out http://NACIS.org.
