摘要: |
On February 27, 2011, three fires began in the outskirts of Amarillo, Texas, two of which destroyed or damaged buildings in multiple housing developments. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), as part of its Disaster and Failure Studies Program, began gathering electronic data for the incident within 6 hours of the Tanglewood fire front moving through the Palisades Community in Lake Tanglewood. NIST and the Texas Forest Service (TFS) integrated a field data collection team into the Incident Command System (ICS) within 48 hours to conduct a post-fire assessment. Initially, both the Willow Creek South Complex and Tanglewood Complex fires were assessed. Within 72 hours after ICS integration, the Tanglewood Fire became the focus of the deployment. The deployment also supported local and state damage assessment efforts. This assessment represented the first deployment of the NIST Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) 2 field data collection method where logistics and standard operating procedures (SOPs) were integrated into the ICS. |
