Smoke Management
The Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests and the White Mountain Apache Tribe have started prescribed burning in various locations so smoke may be a common sight in communities. Before any ignitions occur, however, fire managers have to consider fuel conditions and smoke dispersal and what actions they need to take to minimize smoke in adjacent communities.

What Is the Joint Information Center "JIC"

One of the lessons learned after the Rodeo/Chediski Fire, during the 2003 wildfires that devastated California, and the hurricanes in the south was the need to have a single source of information available to the public relating to the emergency in progress. Currently during such events the public often has to contact various agencies to determine information such as evacuation routes and evacuation centers, what to do with their pets, special health care needs, a report on the smoke in the air, wildfire or other incidents, volunteer opportunities, and a multitude of other types of inquiries. The joint information center is a “one-stop shopping” facility where the caller will be able to receive accurate information regarding the incident (ie wildfire, public health emergency, hazardous material spill, natural disaster) and other pertinent information needed to facilitate desired public action.
