Assess and Expand Coastal Zone Fire Risk Indicators for Fire Monitoring and Management Decisions

The purpose of this project is to provide organic soil moisture data and information to aid coastal zone fire risk monitoring and management. Current and archived data from these stations are accessible on the Science Communicators of North Carolina's Fire Weather Intelligence Portal, where they provide real-time information for drought monitoring and fire risk decision making for the NC Forest Service, NC State Parks, and The Nature Conservancy.
