- Comments

## National Resources

- As per draft  “_*Interagency FPU Analysis Guidance*_*”*:
- FPU has ability to create additional resources (& must incur cost ) for:
- SEATS, Type 2 Helicopters, Type 3 Helicopters, Helitack & Rappellers, Smokejumpers in Alaska, Non-IHC Type 1 Handcrews
- FPU cannot create additional resources for:
- Type 1 & 2 Airtankers, Scoopers, Type 1 Helicopters, Smokejumpers in lower 48, IHC Crews

## Regional Shared Resources

- Identified by Agency Regions/States
- Will be input by FPA
- FPUs will “borrow” regional resources from national team similar to national shared resources
- Less impact for FPUs
- Eliminates double counting for national reports

## Demo Overview

- Adding/deleting Resources to build your options
- Editing resources
- Copying resources
- Adding new resources
- Creating Versions
- Borrowing resources
- Neighboring resources
- National /Regional Resources
- Assigning resources to the option

## Using Versions

**Rule:  You can only use **_**one**_** version of a resource in an option**

## Borrowing Resources

- When borrowing resources, don’t forget to associate their dispatch location to your FWAs
- The only edits you can make is for availability
- If the “owning unit” deletes the resource, any analysis of yours will be invalid
- Due to current system limitations:
- Once you borrow a resource DO NOT delete it!
- Set availability to “0” if  you don’t want to use it...
- Note: if you delete it, you could end up in analysis paralysis....
