(The IT Division of Chhattisgarh Forest Department, Raipur)
The M.P Forestry project phase -1 from 1995- 1999 constitutes the beginning of information management, through IT, in the forest department. With the formation of Chhattisgarh state in the year 2000, FMIS (Forest Management Information System) cell made its humble beginning, which, gradually gathered momentum. At present, the FMIS cell, situated at Raipur, has evolved to such an extent that it acts as an integrated management tool, bringing synergy between sustainable forestry and state of art technologies |

Daily Fire Alarm: Active fire points are detected using data from MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) instrument, on board NASA’s Aqua and Terra satellites. Web Fire Mapper is an internet based mapping tool that delivers location of active fire in near real time with the use of internet and GIS technology, this location and other thematic information regarding active fire points are retrieved from the site on a daily basis and plotted on forest areas of Chhattisgarh. This exercise provides location of active fire points falling in forest compartments, ranges and divisions of the state. This information is sent to respective forest circle, division & range on a daily basis. FMIS Division has initiated this Daily Fire Alarm exercise from 25th of February 2005. |
