New and improved weather products
New icons displayed on the EMCOP Weather Desktop
New AFDRS weather products released on EMCOP replacing existing Fire Danger Rating Reports and Victorian Fire Weather Bulletin products
A newly integrated suite of AFDRS weather products is now available on EMCOP that will encompass:
- Fire Danger Rating area based forecast
- Latest fire weather observations
The transition is possible thanks to significant IT system upgrades and investment supporting fire weather, Fire Danger Rating and predictive service products over the past two years.
The new weather products can be accessed via new icons on EMCOP, which will direct you to Tarnook's Weather Portal. Tarnook is FFMVic's portal that replaced FireWeb.
The goal is to ensure seamless and effective changeover to the new improved tools. DEECA is committed to ensuring robust 24/7 support for these systems.
The AFDRS Victorian Product Update has been reviewed to incorporate the new products. This documents provides guidance about intended audience and which product should be used to guide decision making.
You can access all the reports and products by using your FireWeb username and password. Personnel without a FireWeb username and password can register on FireWeb.
Registrations are streamlined for most Victorian fire agency personnel. People from other organisations will need to contact FFM Support. These requests will be assessed on a case-by-case basis according to need.
Enquires and feedback should be directed to the CFA AFDRS Inbox.
