Operational Fire Danger Rating Operational Fire Danger Rating (FDR) in Indonesia(FDR) in Indonesia
BackgroundBackgroundHistorical fire occurrences in IndonesiaDirect and indirect causes of fire occurrences in IndonesiaImpacts of fire occurrences in IndonesiaAttempts to do Prevention, Monitoring, and Mitigation.Adoption of Fire Danger Rating System as one of Prevention tools
BMGMoF
BackgroundBackground
Prevention:• Increased public awareness activities• Step-up detection activities• Notification of relevant agencies and
companiesMonitoring:
• Provides daily indicators of fire hazards• Critical for planning aerial surveillance,
pre-suppression activities and enforcement
Mitigation:• Position resources where more fires are
expected• Determine resource requirements based
on potential severity of fire• Coordinate resources of relevant agencies
and companies
Attempts to do Prevention, Monitoring, and Mitigation

MoU G to G (Indonesia & Canada)SEA FDRS - Indonesia Initiative(CFS, BPPT, BMG and MoF)
1. Adaptation2. Operational3. Application4. Haze Regional System
MoU 3 Agencies (BPPT, MoF and BMG) FDRS Indonesia
1. Operational of FDR2. Capacity building in MoF3. Product Dissemination
Ministry of Forestry (MoF) start to produce AWS and XLFWI FDR Calculation in 29 areas – 8 Provinces
BMG Produce 3 days FDR Prediction (SynergiesModule; MFI and BMG). BMG continued work on TOT and Capacity building of XLFWI Calculationin 3 Province (Jambi, Lampung and Palangka Raya)
BMG R&D start to develop FDR Prediction for 7 days and TAPM base on NWP (Collaboration CSiro and BMG)
BMG Install and Runs FDRS Maps (Pontianak, Palangka Raya, Jambi, Palembang, Pekanbaru and Lampung)
National Institute of Aeronautics And Space Agency (LAPAN)-sFMS based on RS
BMG- done TOT and Capacity Building (using XLFWI Calculation) in Riau and Pontianak

FDR Development (1999FDR Development (1999--2002)2002)Institutions: – Meteorological and Geophysical
Agency (BMG)– National Institute of Aeronautics and
Space (LAPAN)– Ministry of Forestry (MoF)– Agency for Assessment and
application of Technology (BPPT)– Canadian Forest Service (CFS)
Pilot project areas:– Riau Province– West Kalimantan
Surface fires may spread vigorously or with moderate fire intensity*
Fire can be controlled by direct attack with hand tools and water
HIGH Fast spreading or moderate to high intensity fire
Fire control requires power pumps and/or fire break construction using mechanized line-building tools
EXTREME
Fast spreading or high intensity fire
Very difficult to control. Indirect attack using drip torches from control lines may work

Early Warning InformationEarly Warning Information
BMGMoF
AdvantagesAdvantagesImproved monitoring information related to forest fireIncreased understanding of underlying causes of fireIncreased of Law enforcementIncreased investment by government & industryIncreased capacity at local levelsStabilization of local governmentIncreased community awareness & empowermentImproved information for decision maker supporting
BMGMoF
LimitationsLimitationsWeather stations distribution are not fully supported for land/forest fire monitoringDifficulty in keeping inputs for FDR consistent → technical problems such as weather data communication, data format, weather observation instrument, AWS sensors problem (MoF), etc.Need adjustment for fuel typePublic are not yet familiar with FDR informationLess support for law enforcement
BMGMoF
Closing RemarksClosing RemarksFDRS requires a consistent flow of weather dataSignificant effort required to address the database interface requirementsThe national meteorological service plays a key role in FDRS operationsFDR providers must work closely with fire management agencies to ensure useful outputsFDR user agencies should eventually augment meteorological data on seasonal basis and high fire risk areasFDR user agencies could also operationalize FDR information.
