Priority decision topics currently under evaluation for the development of the Tribal fire decision support tool being developed by SDSU and partners. Data being selected for integration will support mapping of threats and priorities for southern California’s Tribal communities. The arrow at the bottom of the image illustrates the types of documents where decisions are likely to be applied.

Aerial imagery of New Haven, Connecticut with the average land surface temperature (LST) for 2022 overlaid on top of the image. Areas of higher average temperature are shown in dark red, and areas of comparatively lower average temperature are shown in light pink. In this project, LST analysis is combined with an analysis of vegetative cover and socioeconomic characteristics to identify the neighborhoods most at-risk from heat-related impacts to prioritize for tree planting initiatives.
