DEFINING THE WILDFIRE PROBLEM Sample Clauses

DEFINING THE WILDFIRE PROBLEM. Each year nationally, firefighters combine efforts to successfully contain approximately ninety- seven percent of wildfires at less than ten acres. This success is a direct result of favorable weather and fuels conditions, early fire reporting, and a rapid and aggressive fire suppression response. However, when an ignition occurs during unfavorable weather and fuel conditions, or when firefighting assets are committed to fighting simultaneous wildfires, a new fire has the potential to escape the efforts of initial attack firefighters. The probability of a catastrophic wildfire occurring at any particular location within or adjacent to the Project Area is dependent on a chain of events that includes fire ignition, fire weather, fuel, heat transfer, topography, fire behavior, suppression actions taken, and the interaction of these factors. To understand the wildfire problem in the Project Area requires an understanding of fire ecology, the expansion of the human development into wildland areas, the influences of a changing climate, fire history, and the wildland fire environment.

  • IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM During the early stages of problem detection, the NMC will be able to tell which CLECs are affected by the catastrophe. Further analysis and/or first hand observation will determine if the disaster has affected CLEC equipment only, BellSouth equipment only or a combination. The initial restoration activity will be largely determined by the equipment that is affected. Once the nature of the disaster is determined and after verifying the cause of the problem, the NMC will initiate reroutes and/or transfers that are jointly agreed upon by the affected CLECs' Network Management Center and the BellSouth NMC. The type and percentage of controls used will depend upon available network capacity. Controls necessary to stabilize the situation will be invoked and the NMC will attempt to re-establish as much traffic as possible. For long-term outages, recovery efforts will be coordinated by the ECC. Traffic controls will continue to be applied by the NMC until facilities are re-established. As equipment is made available for service, the ECC will instruct the NMC to begin removing the controls and allow traffic to resume.

  • Where BellSouth uses Integrated Digital Loop Carrier (IDLC) systems to provide the local loop and BellSouth has a suitable alternate facility available, BellSouth will make arrangements to permit OnePoint to order a contiguous local loop. To the extent it is technically feasible, these arrangements will provide OnePoint with the capability to serve end users at a level that is at parity with the level of service BellSouth provides its customers. If no alternate facility is available, BellSouth will utilize its Special Construction (SC) process to determine the additional costs required to provision the loop facilities. OnePoint will then have the option of paying the one-time SC rates to place the loop facilities or OnePoint may chose some other method of providing service to the end-user (e.g., Resale, private facilities, etc.).
