New Mexico Sierra Land Grant Community Coalition Fire Plan (pdf)

The Southwest Area (SWA) is one of eleven Geographic Areas across the United States and Alaska. It is established to manage collaboratively wildland fire and other incident management activities throughout the States of Arizona and New Mexico, and the Federal units located in the western parts of Oklahoma and Texas to the 100th meridian. Primary cooperating Federal and State Agencies in the Southwest Area include the USDA Forest Service, USDI Bureau of Land Management, USDI National Park Service, USDI Bureau of Indian Affairs, USDI Fish and Wildlife Service, State of Arizona (Arizona State Land Department), and the State of New Mexico (Division of Forestry).

Newsletters and other resources created by the SW Fire Science Consortium. The consortium provides opportunities for managers, scientists, and policy makers to interact and share science in ways that can effectively move new information to management practices. We seek to link the academic community and the management community in educating future fire professionals with up-to-date science as well as practical experience.

The consortium is a way for managers, scientists, and policy makers to interact and share science in ways that can effectively move new information to management practices. The Southwest is one of the most fire-dominated regions of the US, but limited in terms of regional organizations focused on fire research and information dissemination. In the Southwest there are many localized efforts to develop scientific information and to disseminate that to practitioners on the ground, but these initiatives are often not well coordinated or aware of all the information and resources that are available. The consortium will help bring these parallel efforts together to be more efficient and inclusive. It also seeks to link the academic community and the management community in educating future fire professionals with up-to-date science as well as practical experience.

The Southwest Coordination Center (SWCC) is the focal point for mobilization of resources between the twelve Dispatch Centers within the Southwest Area, and the National Coordination Center.
