A variety of federal, state, local and NGOs provide services and assistance in the areas of natural resource and fire management throughout the state. The missions of these partners involve coordinating and cooperating to ensure that threats to natural resources and the public are addressed in a way that is not inhibited by political and jurisdictional boundaries. Therefore, the priority landscapes analysis was performed in consideration of the key issues and threats across all lands in Nevada. This capability was achieved through stakeholder engagement and using their analyses and planning documents to aid in the determination of key issues, threats and values. as well as the selection of the data layers used for the GIS analysis. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The GIS (Geographic Information System) analysis used during the production of this plan, which influenced the assessment, used the 29 input layers. These layers are associated with each key issue, threat, value or collaborative opportunity, which are also tied to each of the three USFS-SPF national themes and Cohesive Strategy Tenets within the Strategies section of this document. GIS was used to overlay and analyze each of the weighted layers to produce a cumulative key issues and threats concentration map. The concentration levels were classified into five relative categories. The areas shown in purple represent the highest priority areas and represent geographic areas where data layers created the most overlap. All urban and community areas were classified outside of the analysis as high because of the need to manage urban forests and wildfire hazards within and around these areas to protect human life and enhance local economies as a priority. Riparian and wetland areas were also classified as high outside of the analysis because of their importance in serving basic needs for human and wildlife populations and their vital support of economic activities in the state.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
