The purpose of the Interagency Burned Area Emergency Response Guidebook (Guidebook) is to provide general operational guidance for Department of Agriculture and the Department of the Interior emergency stabilization activities after a wildfire. In conjunction with Departmental and agency policy, it is designed to provide agency administrators and emergency stabilization specialists with sufficient information to: 1. Understand emergency stabilization policy, standards, and procedures. 2. Assess wildfire damage and develop a cost effective plan or report. 3. Assess and report accomplishments. It consolidates and provides an interagency interpretation of emergency stabilization policies, procedures, objectives, and standards where there is Departmental and agency agreement. Individual agency policy and procedure manual guidance can be more but not less restrictive than that presented in this Guidebook.
