The map visualizes the BAER/EDRR (Burned Area Emergency Response/Early Detection Rapid Recovery) weed management strategy, with three distinct area types color-coded and marked: the Airport Fire burn area (hatched gray), burned areas (gold), and suppression areas including roads and dozelines (orange). The geographic scope covers regions near Riverside, including areas around Rancho Santa Margarita and parts of the Cleveland National Forest, with a small inset map showing the coastal region near Oceanside. The map provides a detailed spatial representation of weed locations and treatment zones following the Airport Fire, supporting the federal contract opportunity for vegetation management and ecological restoration.
