About ITTO Tropical IFM Toolkit

The ITTO web-based Tropical Integrated Fire Management Toolkit serves as a clearing house of a curated set of open source existing tropical fire knowledge resources, including fire management guidelines, fire policy legislation, training manuals, educational/communication materials, as well as field level technical and training guidelines and decision-support tools for policymakers, managers, and local communities engaged in various aspects of integrated tropical fire management. The goal is to bridge knowledge gaps by organizing existing guidance, data, and tools into an intuitive and interactive portal. The toolkit's usefulness is dependent on the tropical fire community's continuous contribution of new knowledge resources to the platform so that existing and emerging tools can be widely disseminated and applied by communities, government decision makers, and fire practitioners for more effective IFM in the tropics. Please consider sharing your knowledge resources on the platform.
