Block 35 Weather Concerns:
• Complete a short synopsis/discussion on significant weather factors that could cause
concerns for the incident when relevant. Include current and/or predicted weather
factors, and the timeframe for predictions.
• Enter the weather forecasted for the next operational period including wind speed, wind
direction, temperature, and relative humidity. Highlight significant forecasted severe
weather events, such as thunderstorms, high temperatures, dry lightning, frontal
passages, inversions, and gusty/erratic winds, weather watches, advisories, or warnings
or any other weather information relative to the incident, such as flooding, hurricanes,
etc.
Block 36 Projected Incident Activity, Potential, Movement, Escalation or Spread:
• Provide an estimate of the direction/scope in which the incident is expected to spread,
migrate, or expand in the next indicated operational period, or other factors that may
cause activity changes.
• Discuss incident potential relative to values at risk, or values to be protected (such as
human life), and potential changes to those as the incident changes.
• Include an estimate of the acreage or area that will be affected.
• Provide the above information in 12-, 24-, 48- and 72-hour timeframes, and any activity
anticipated after 72 hours.
Block 37 Strategic Objectives:
Describe the desired end state of the incident. Briefly discuss the desired outcome for the
incident based on currently available information. Note any high-level objectives and any
possible strategic benefits as well (especially for planned events).
• For Wildfire incidents, this could include resource benefit objectives, rehabilitation
plans, assessing and reestablishing damaged/destroyed infrastructure, etc.
• For non-fire incidents, information could include repopulating an area, structure
stabilization, mitigating a spill, etc.
• For fires with a strategy other than full suppression that are using an Operational
Objective Weighted Scale Matrix to determine progress made on the incident, document
the stated operational objectives in this block.
Block 38 Current Incident Threat Summary and Risk Information:
• Summarize major or significant threats due to incident activity based on currently
available information. Include a breakdown of threats in terms of 12-, 24-, 48-, and 72-
hour timeframes and anticipate beyond if applicable.
• Summarize primary incident threats to life, property, communities and community
stability, residences, health care facilities, other critical infrastructure and key resources,
commercial facilities, natural and environmental resources, cultural resources, and
continuity of operations and/or business.
• Identify corresponding incident-related potential economic or cascading impacts.
