The RAND Local Resources Model

Like the National Model, the Local Resources Model systematically analyzes different aircraft combinations and basing options, identifying the fleet mix that minimizes total social costs,C_{F}(f(a)) + C_{A}(a). However, unlike the National Model, the Local Resources Model’s characterization off(a)is...

Zusammenfassung:	Like the National Model, the Local Resources Model systematically analyzes different aircraft combinations and basing options, identifying the fleet mix that minimizes total social costs,C_{F}(f(a)) + C_{A}(a). However, unlike the National Model, the Local Resources Model’s characterization off(a)is built on fire season, ground resources, and containment estimates generated by the FPA system. In addition, the Local Resources Model allows the differential social costs of fires,C_{F}(f), F to vary by location. FPA is a Forest Service system designed to assist decisionmakers in resource allocation choices. FPA’s traditional focus has been at the local Forest Service Fire Planning
