Critical information for the backcountry
The first of it's kind, road closure forecast will be presented by FWAC over Winter 2017! We are busy preparing a never-before-seen
model that accesses road conditions and makes a prediction about the liklihood of a road closure based on a proprietary algorithm. This
model will also make suggests as to the chance of your travels being good, or "not so good." We will be demoing this product for Oregon
first, before extending it to other states!
The Fire, Weather & Avalanche Center's (FWAC) mission as a non-profit organization is to bring proprietary and user-friendly
products, services, and information to the public—with an emphasis on the backcountry. This includes wildfires, weather, and
avalanches. We are currently piloting a suite of products for the Pacific Northwest. Our team is gearing up for great things. We are
also testing a new avalanche vulnerability prediction model for release in late Fall 2017. So, get ready!
