WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:23.666 [Upbeat music] 00:00:23.666 --> 00:00:29.299 >>Speaker: WPSAPS Unit 4A. Worker Hours or Budget Pathway? 00:00:32.833 --> 00:00:36.733 So today's objectives we're going to create prevention 00:00:36.733 --> 00:00:40.799 planning scenarios, generate, review and edit prevention 00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:41.633 action sets. 00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:51.200 So before we begin, we need to go over some terms so that we 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:55.966 are all on the same page and for consistency across the board for 00:00:55.966 --> 00:00:59.199 when we're talking about prevention actions. 00:00:59.700 --> 00:01:04.400 So general actions, also known as the GA, it consists of four 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.633 categories, the education, enforcement, engineering and 00:01:08.633 --> 00:01:09.766 administration. 00:01:11.100 --> 00:01:18.400 The general actions can potentially affect the entire Management Unit or the MU. 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:24.833 They are not bound by a Prevention Unit, the PU, and can 00:01:24.833 --> 00:01:28.199 be found in Appendix G. 00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:31.600 Specific Actions or the SA consists of 00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:37.666 seven categories: Patrol, signing, law enforcement, 00:01:37.666 --> 00:01:44.232 hazard reduction, personal contacts, inspections, administration, and 00:01:44.233 --> 00:01:46.099 community actions. 00:01:46.533 --> 00:01:54.366 The specific actions take place in specifically identified 00:01:54.366 --> 00:02:00.799 prevention units and do not affect the overall management 00:02:00.800 --> 00:02:05.600 unit, but supports the overall prevention plan. 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.800 They can also be found in Appendix G. 00:02:09.233 --> 00:02:14.366 So again, general actions affect the entire management unit. 00:02:14.633 --> 00:02:20.533 Specific actions are then prevention actions that affect a 00:02:20.533 --> 00:02:23.533 certain area within your plan. 00:02:24.933 --> 00:02:30.566 Community actions can be attached to general actions or 00:02:30.566 --> 00:02:36.999 specific actions, and these are actions that are identified for 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.500 communities for a specific reason. 00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:45.133 They do not affect the entire management unit or the 00:02:45.133 --> 00:02:47.633 prevention unit, but supports the plan. 00:02:48.500 --> 00:02:56.500 Again, hours, prevention actions that affect a specific community. 00:02:56.500 --> 00:02:59.033 And then Action Plan. 00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:05.833 The action plan is a combination of general actions, specific actions, 00:03:05.833 --> 00:03:08.799 and community actions that supports the overall 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:10.000 prevention plan. 00:03:11.100 --> 00:03:14.966 They identify what are the target starts, what are you 00:03:14.966 --> 00:03:16.432 going to do about it? 00:03:16.433 --> 00:03:21.899 Those are the actions to affect the target starts. 00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:27.633 With what budget, funds, hours, personnel? Where are you going to implement 00:03:27.633 --> 00:03:28.833 these actions? 00:03:29.433 --> 00:03:32.733 When will you potentially implement them? 00:03:34.133 --> 00:03:39.333 And again, these are endless actions, combinations that 00:03:39.333 --> 00:03:42.966 can be applied to any prevention plan. 00:03:47.233 --> 00:03:51.233 So continuing on with prevention terms, we have Scenarios. 00:03:52.266 --> 00:03:57.232 So scenarios are- takes everything that has been put 00:03:57.233 --> 00:04:02.333 into WPSAPS so far, your mapping, your data, your assessments 00:04:02.333 --> 00:04:07.099 combined with the science research data and the 00:04:07.100 --> 00:04:14.200 best practices to formulate an overall plan or scenario and the 00:04:14.200 --> 00:04:21.000 actions with the various combinations, the general 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:25.833 action, specific action, and community actions that makes a 00:04:25.833 --> 00:04:30.799 scenario and you can have many different scenarios pending the 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:31.933 combination. 00:04:38.133 --> 00:04:41.433 WPSAPS can assist in scenario development. 00:04:42.333 --> 00:04:47.433 So what is a scenario? And a scenario again is an option of 00:04:47.433 --> 00:04:52.966 how you can utilize everything that you put into the program so far, 00:04:52.966 --> 00:04:58.399 and helps you decide what prevention actions to implement. 00:04:59.400 --> 00:05:04.000 Multiple scenarios can be developed to compare and 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:05.600 contrast outcomes. 00:05:06.066 --> 00:05:10.532 The results, what fires are being prevented, what is the 00:05:10.533 --> 00:05:11.299 reduction. 00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:17.600 Ultimately, you would love to select a scenario that best 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:21.500 meets the need of the overall management unit. 00:05:22.500 --> 00:05:25.533 Results of a scenario and plans. 00:05:26.666 --> 00:05:30.232 They identify prevention actions, the development of a 00:05:30.233 --> 00:05:33.599 plan, indicating who, when, where, what, and how to 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:34.800 implement the plan. 00:05:35.733 --> 00:05:36.466 Reporting. 00:05:36.700 --> 00:05:39.733 That's the best thing about WPSAPS, is we have a 00:05:39.733 --> 00:05:43.466 reporting option to monitor your progress on the implementation 00:05:43.466 --> 00:05:44.166 of the plan. 00:05:45.700 --> 00:05:50.533 But most importantly, WPSAPS is a guide of program of work. 00:05:51.433 --> 00:06:03.533 It allows you the flexibility to change as your circumstances 00:06:03.533 --> 00:06:06.266 change throughout the management unit pending on the year, 00:06:06.266 --> 00:06:10.532 pending on all the different factors that influence what we 00:06:10.533 --> 00:06:10.833 do. 00:06:11.266 --> 00:06:13.632 So this is a plan that's developed at the beginning of 00:06:13.633 --> 00:06:19.166 the year that guides us through the 12 months. 00:06:20.200 --> 00:06:25.733 But knowing that we are flexible with all the different items 00:06:25.733 --> 00:06:32.366 that get thrown at us, fires, closures, etcetera. 00:06:32.366 --> 00:06:37.466 And WPSAPS is best for conducting risk assessments and planning 00:06:37.466 --> 00:06:40.899 workloads for the management unit where they will be 00:06:40.900 --> 00:06:41.966 implemented. 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:53.000 Meaning if you make a plan, make it specific to an area. 00:06:54.200 --> 00:07:00.700 For example, if a plan is created just for region 1, it 00:07:00.700 --> 00:07:06.266 gets watered down way too quickly and then it doesn't have 00:07:06.266 --> 00:07:14.299 the greatest effect, an outcome if I'm just targeting versus 00:07:14.300 --> 00:07:18.566 just targeting a specific forest, a specific unit where 00:07:18.566 --> 00:07:20.866 the work will be done. 00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:26.200 So let's get started. 00:07:26.200 --> 00:07:30.333 Now that we have all of the terms, we can begin. 00:07:30.866 --> 00:07:35.666 So creating a scenario, after you do a risk assessment, you'll 00:07:35.666 --> 00:07:38.466 be you'll come to create a scenario. 00:07:39.100 --> 00:07:42.333 The first thing you need to do is select a pathway. 00:07:43.200 --> 00:07:48.533 The pathway will either be worker hours or based on budget. 00:07:50.066 --> 00:07:54.699 You choose budget when you know the overall budget available to 00:07:54.700 --> 00:07:58.900 spend on prevention, employees, supplies, vehicle, 00:07:58.900 --> 00:08:00.133 support budget, etcetera. 00:08:01.866 --> 00:08:05.232 Worker hours is when you know the portion of the employees 00:08:05.233 --> 00:08:14.233 time available to implement prevention actions within the management unit 00:08:14.233 --> 00:08:18.599 so you select the correct pathway that you 00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:21.400 wish to proceed with. 00:08:23.700 --> 00:08:27.433 So regardless of the pathway you need to know two things. 00:08:27.900 --> 00:08:30.000 You need to know your annual worker salary. 00:08:30.466 --> 00:08:36.366 Even if an employee is 13/13 18/8, a collateral duty, this 00:08:36.366 --> 00:08:39.866 number is for a full time employee. 00:08:39.866 --> 00:08:41.766 It goes into the equation in the algorithm. 00:08:42.700 --> 00:08:47.166 It's not gross income, but the true cost to government, the 00:08:47.166 --> 00:08:49.899 salary, the benefits, the insurance. 00:08:52.933 --> 00:08:58.266 So by default the program automatically puts in 80,000. 00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:00.200 That's just by default. 00:09:00.533 --> 00:09:04.766 You can change this to fit your scenario. 00:09:05.933 --> 00:09:08.866 You can find your agency salary table. 00:09:10.133 --> 00:09:14.866 This one of course WPSAPS is based off the 2020 OPM salary 00:09:14.866 --> 00:09:22.132 table which is equivalent to a GS Nine Step 3 and then some easy 00:09:22.133 --> 00:09:23.033 math there. 00:09:23.033 --> 00:09:28.299 GS Seven Step 4 is roughly $78,000. So make sure you use the 00:09:28.300 --> 00:09:33.300 updated amounts and know what your agency and what your 00:09:33.300 --> 00:09:37.033 prevention person truly cost your agency. 00:09:38.333 --> 00:09:40.933 The second thing you need to know is administrative hours. 00:09:41.533 --> 00:09:46.899 Administrative hours is training, annual leave, sick 00:09:46.900 --> 00:09:53.333 leave, holidays, projected off unit assignments because we only 00:09:53.333 --> 00:09:59.766 want to know how many hours are available to do prevention work 00:09:59.766 --> 00:10:02.466 within the management unit. 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:09.066 So if an individual takes one or two assignments, subtract those 00:10:09.066 --> 00:10:12.966 hours from base hours that you'll be gone. 00:10:13.300 --> 00:10:19.233 So if you take one assignment off your home unit a year 00:10:19.233 --> 00:10:25.399 roughly, I mean that is 80 hours because we're only doing base 00:10:25.400 --> 00:10:32.100 time and then any kind of meetings again stressing base 00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:33.233 hours only. 00:10:34.133 --> 00:10:40.666 So a general rule of thumb is if you have a full time employee 00:10:40.666 --> 00:10:47.099 doing prevention work, 20% of that time is admin for so about 00:10:47.100 --> 00:10:48.133 416 hours. 00:10:48.633 --> 00:10:57.266 So full time employee has 2,080 hours, subtract the 416 that 00:10:57.266 --> 00:11:02.132 leaves 1,664 hours to do prevention work base hours. 00:11:05.800 --> 00:11:10.500 And a lot of you are thinking, OK, well I do a lot of overtime 00:11:10.500 --> 00:11:12.500 during throughout the year. 00:11:13.500 --> 00:11:17.233 That's OK because in WPSAPS we have that reporting tool. 00:11:17.233 --> 00:11:20.733 So you actually get to report what you did, what actions you 00:11:20.733 --> 00:11:21.466 actually did. 00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.300 So we'll go over that in in future units here. 00:11:28.266 --> 00:11:31.999 So I kept that simple ratio up there just for a visual because 00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:35.466 we'll be referencing this 80/20 quite a bit throughout the 00:11:35.466 --> 00:11:36.099 PowerPoint. 00:11:36.700 --> 00:11:40.833 So once you choose a path, annual salary, and your admin time is 00:11:40.833 --> 00:11:45.866 entered, you need to enter what hours are dedicated to 00:11:45.866 --> 00:11:50.432 prevention. Worker hours pathway, it's called worker hours. 00:11:51.066 --> 00:11:55.766 And then for the budget pathway, it's called labor total and 00:11:55.766 --> 00:12:00.399 labor total will be the same as the annual's worker salary. 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:11.466 OK, We're going to go over a couple different scenarios 00:12:11.466 --> 00:12:20.932 pending on full time employee collateral duty and either 13/13 and 18/8. 00:12:20.933 --> 00:12:26.166 So there are different ways to fill out this this information 00:12:26.166 --> 00:12:29.266 pending on the availability of hours. 00:12:31.533 --> 00:12:34.966 So the first one we're going to do is we're going to use the 00:12:34.966 --> 00:12:35.799 budget pathway. 00:12:37.100 --> 00:12:40.966 So we got a first of all select the pathway, enter your annual 00:12:40.966 --> 00:12:44.866 worker salary and this is going to be for a full time employee. 00:12:45.466 --> 00:12:48.666 And we're going to use that 20% saying 416. 00:12:49.500 --> 00:12:55.966 And then just for simplicity, I'm going to keep the 80,000 as 00:12:55.966 --> 00:12:57.532 the individual. 00:12:57.533 --> 00:13:02.066 So labor total is going to equal the worker salary. 00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:05.366 And then I'm going to put in a support budget. 00:13:06.400 --> 00:13:15.400 The support budget is any supplies your vehicle, all 00:13:15.400 --> 00:13:18.300 the other stuff that you need to run a successful 00:13:18.300 --> 00:13:20.266 prevention program. 00:13:21.400 --> 00:13:24.266 So checking for accuracy. 00:13:24.666 --> 00:13:30.166 So down at the bottom you see a budget total of $85,000. 00:13:30.500 --> 00:13:35.333 That is the salary plus the support budget because that's 00:13:35.333 --> 00:13:38.233 what the program is going to cost. 00:13:38.800 --> 00:13:43.666 And so 80,000 / 80,000 = 1 full time employee. 00:13:44.400 --> 00:13:50.866 One full time employee has 1,664 hours to 00:13:50.866 --> 00:13:58.766 implement this plan and then the prevention hour total is in this 00:13:58.766 --> 00:14:07.399 case since it is full time 1,664. Only to do prevention actions 00:14:07.400 --> 00:14:10.033 for that one full time employee. 00:14:26.300 --> 00:14:31.700 So what if now we have a employee who's not full time? 00:14:33.733 --> 00:14:39.033 So you will still need the annual worker salary in either 00:14:39.033 --> 00:14:43.933 pathway that you choose, either 13/13 or 18/8. 00:14:46.800 --> 00:14:51.100 You need the salary and the administrative hours. 00:14:51.933 --> 00:14:56.466 So up in the table there I put some quick calculations on what 00:14:56.466 --> 00:15:00.399 a 13/13 or half time employee, how many hours that 00:15:00.400 --> 00:15:03.333 would be and then also for the 18/8. 00:15:04.933 --> 00:15:13.399 And then as we work through this this the sheet things change. 00:15:14.666 --> 00:15:20.966 So in this case here we chose to do worker hours, annual worker 00:15:20.966 --> 00:15:26.399 salary of $80,000 and the administrative hours is about 00:15:26.400 --> 00:15:26.766 100. 00:15:27.133 --> 00:15:33.766 So again you want to get this to as close as you can what sick 00:15:33.766 --> 00:15:36.932 leave, what annual leave and adjusted accordingly. 00:15:37.833 --> 00:15:39.866 And so in this scenario we chose 100. 00:15:41.333 --> 00:15:45.566 So now it is 1/2 time employee. 00:15:46.266 --> 00:15:55.299 So they only have 1,040 hours available to do prevention work 00:15:55.300 --> 00:15:58.400 and hopefully again up in the administrative hours you 00:15:58.400 --> 00:16:01.833 subtracted any kind of off unit assignment. 00:16:02.666 --> 00:16:04.799 But this is what hours are available. 00:16:04.800 --> 00:16:09.766 It is 1,040, they are 1/2 time employee and then a support 00:16:09.766 --> 00:16:11.032 budget of 5000. 00:16:11.666 --> 00:16:13.199 So checking for accuracy. 00:16:13.900 --> 00:16:20.233 So for the budget you have $45,000 because it is 1/2 time 00:16:20.233 --> 00:16:21.199 employee. 00:16:22.500 --> 00:16:29.166 Half of the 80,000 is 40,000 and then plus the 5000 for the 00:16:29.166 --> 00:16:34.266 support budget and then you have 1040 / 2080. 00:16:34.800 --> 00:16:40.000 That's the hours equals 1/2 time employee for half time employee. 00:16:40.933 --> 00:16:49.199 So one full time employee is 1980 because that's the 2080 -, 00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:49.733 100. 00:16:50.066 --> 00:16:52.599 So if that was a full time employee, that's how many hours 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:53.533 they'd have available. 00:16:54.266 --> 00:16:57.366 However, we only have the 1,040. 00:16:57.700 --> 00:17:07.566 So 1040 - 100 is 940 hours available to do prevention work 00:17:07.566 --> 00:17:09.632 for that halftime employee. 00:17:10.300 --> 00:17:14.066 So in that circle there on the bottom, they have that full time 00:17:14.066 --> 00:17:14.899 employee line. 00:17:14.900 --> 00:17:19.200 Just to clear it up, just so you know the difference in the 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:19.600 hours. 00:17:20.133 --> 00:17:27.133 So prevention, our total is 940 to do prevention work within 00:17:27.133 --> 00:17:33.799 that unit and then that either pathway that should be the 00:17:33.800 --> 00:17:34.700 outcome. 00:17:39.433 --> 00:17:41.533 So what if it's just a collateral duty? 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:48.100 What if an FMO or an engine captain has the prevention as a 00:17:48.100 --> 00:17:49.600 collateral duty? 00:17:51.933 --> 00:17:58.599 Use the workers pathway, worker hours pathway for this scenario. 00:18:01.066 --> 00:18:06.532 So calculate what admin time that will be taken from the 00:18:06.533 --> 00:18:11.266 dedicated prevention hours as a collateral duty. 00:18:11.266 --> 00:18:15.899 Not all the admin time is coming from the dedicated prevention 00:18:15.900 --> 00:18:16.333 hours. 00:18:18.066 --> 00:18:25.066 So again, admin time is typically 20% of the total time. 00:18:26.700 --> 00:18:31.300 20% = 416 hours of the 2080. 00:18:32.900 --> 00:18:38.533 But we only have a certain amount of hours. 00:18:39.300 --> 00:18:43.733 Collateral duties typically are 20%. 00:18:44.133 --> 00:18:47.333 So what is 20% of a full time 416? 00:18:48.133 --> 00:18:58.666 So now you take 20% of the 416, which is 83 hours of admin time. 00:19:00.033 --> 00:19:06.499 So again collateral duties typically is only 20% of an 00:19:06.500 --> 00:19:13.833 individual's time, 416 take 20% of that to get admin time 83 00:19:13.833 --> 00:19:14.533 hours. 00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:22.133 So I have an annuals worker salary of 80,000, administrative 00:19:22.133 --> 00:19:27.133 hours of 83 and this individual only has 416 hours to dedicated 00:19:27.133 --> 00:19:30.633 to prevention with a support budget of 5000. 00:19:32.066 --> 00:19:39.799 So the budget total checking for accuracy we have 21,000 and 00:19:39.800 --> 00:19:47.266 dollars we have 416 hours divided by 2080 which is .2 full 00:19:47.266 --> 00:19:49.032 time employee. 00:19:49.300 --> 00:19:50.333 So that is correct. 00:19:50.333 --> 00:19:54.399 That is 20% of the individual of of a full time employee. 00:19:56.100 --> 00:20:02.333 And so prevention hours is going to be 333 hours to do prevention 00:20:02.333 --> 00:20:06.733 and that is the 416 -, 83 hours of admin time. 00:20:07.333 --> 00:20:12.266 To solely do prevention actions for that one full time employee 00:20:12.266 --> 00:20:14.266 if it's a collateral duty. 00:20:21.733 --> 00:20:28.166 So once you have the correct pathway and the correct hours 00:20:28.166 --> 00:20:32.499 you would continue on to the next step. 00:20:35.033 --> 00:20:41.199 You then would have this pop up box of hours distribution for 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:42.966 action categories. 00:20:43.633 --> 00:20:46.633 So we have general actions and we have specific actions. 00:20:47.100 --> 00:20:49.000 So how to divide your time? 00:20:49.800 --> 00:20:51.066 You only have so many hours. 00:20:51.066 --> 00:20:52.866 How do you want to split that time. 00:20:52.866 --> 00:21:00.166 By default, again, WPSAPS has a 3070 as the space holders. 00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:03.666 Those are just space holders, kind of like that 80,000 from 00:21:03.666 --> 00:21:04.532 the previous screen. 00:21:05.666 --> 00:21:12.466 But through beta testing and lots of different scenarios and 00:21:12.466 --> 00:21:19.732 using different percentages, the best result from the testers is 00:21:19.733 --> 00:21:23.866 having a 50/50 split percentage wise. 00:21:23.866 --> 00:21:28.999 So 50% of the hours will do general actions, specific 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:33.633 actions also 50% being 840 hours in each action. 00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:37.133 However you can play with these. 00:21:37.133 --> 00:21:40.399 This was just the option of the best overall outcome through the 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:40.800 testing. 00:21:41.266 --> 00:21:44.732 Now let's say you are a prevention specialist and you 00:21:44.733 --> 00:21:48.533 don't get out into the field to implement as many specific 00:21:48.533 --> 00:21:51.466 actions for prevention units such as patrols. 00:21:52.466 --> 00:21:56.199 Then yes you the percent percentages could change. 00:21:57.266 --> 00:22:00.932 But for our demo we will be using the 50/50. 00:22:09.033 --> 00:22:14.099 So once you accept that and you save that then your scenario is 00:22:14.100 --> 00:22:14.866 populated. 00:22:16.533 --> 00:22:22.966 So here we are, we have a demo and we have the worker hours of 00:22:22.966 --> 00:22:28.366 1,680, $80,000 labor, $10,000 support budget and 00:22:28.366 --> 00:22:30.899 $90,000 the total budget. 00:22:31.666 --> 00:22:37.432 So this screenshot came from some the numbers that I put in 00:22:37.433 --> 00:22:39.733 and it is now populated. 00:22:40.233 --> 00:22:47.199 We have 0 fires prevented and we'll talk about that in future 00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:49.533 lessons here shortly. 00:22:50.066 --> 00:22:54.366 And we have our general action action sets and we have specific 00:22:54.366 --> 00:22:55.666 action sets. 00:22:55.666 --> 00:22:58.799 Those are each set to 0 because we have not done anything yet. 00:22:59.100 --> 00:23:02.200 We have a load properties and delete. 00:23:07.066 --> 00:23:13.266 So in future presentation we'll go over this in detail. 00:23:17.900 --> 00:23:24.133 So now the question might come up of you went over to the 00:23:24.133 --> 00:23:28.899 scenarios of a full time person, a part time person and a 00:23:28.900 --> 00:23:30.400 collateral duty. 00:23:30.866 --> 00:23:33.799 What if there are multiple employees? 00:23:33.800 --> 00:23:40.366 What are some options to do to calculate all that time and 00:23:40.366 --> 00:23:42.932 the hours and the budget? 00:23:44.533 --> 00:23:49.466 So currently there is no way with WPSAPS to assign an 00:23:49.466 --> 00:23:52.899 employee to a specific prevention unit. 00:23:53.233 --> 00:23:59.066 So if you're doing a forest plan, I cannot say person A is 00:23:59.066 --> 00:24:04.566 going to the north unit and person B to the South unit. 00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:10.400 There's no way to differentiate individuals to prevention units. 00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:13.533 It's for the entire management unit. 00:24:14.666 --> 00:24:18.532 So here's the example again. 00:24:18.533 --> 00:24:22.299 So on the Lolo National Forest, there are 5 prevention techs, 1 00:24:22.300 --> 00:24:25.766 per each range of district, and one prevention specialist. 00:24:27.333 --> 00:24:32.566 If I create one plan, if the MU is the entire Lolo National 00:24:32.566 --> 00:24:37.599 Forest, WPSAPS computes it that all the tech's actions, 00:24:37.600 --> 00:24:44.900 regardless of where they are, will affect the entire Lolo 00:24:44.900 --> 00:24:48.066 National Forest and not just their assigned ranger district, 00:24:48.066 --> 00:24:49.532 which isn't true. 00:24:49.733 --> 00:24:55.966 So person A up North is not going to affect the South in a 00:24:55.966 --> 00:24:58.166 in a prevention unit. 00:24:59.500 --> 00:25:06.033 So for our scenario, each Lolo tech district will be the 00:25:06.033 --> 00:25:08.933 management unit and then the prevention techs will then 00:25:08.933 --> 00:25:11.566 divide their district into prevention units. 00:25:11.700 --> 00:25:16.633 This is just one way of doing WPSAPS and then the Lolo 00:25:16.633 --> 00:25:21.633 National Forest Specialist, their whole management unit will 00:25:21.633 --> 00:25:26.366 be the forest and then each district is a prevention unit 00:25:26.366 --> 00:25:28.566 for those specific actions. 00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:34.200 But we'd have to come together and then make a table and see 00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:39.333 all the different actions that we are implementing across the 00:25:39.333 --> 00:25:39.899 forest. 00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:41.933 So this is just one way to do it. 00:25:44.933 --> 00:25:50.066 So just breaking down the multi employee scenarios there. 00:25:50.300 --> 00:25:53.933 There again, there's no defined method for developing prevention 00:25:53.933 --> 00:25:55.866 plans with more than one employee. 00:25:56.533 --> 00:25:57.966 But we do. 00:25:58.100 --> 00:26:03.500 We have identified 4 different methods to develop a plan for 00:26:03.500 --> 00:26:06.666 this scenario of multiple employee. 00:26:07.866 --> 00:26:12.932 One is to create a spreadsheet, develop an overall scenario that 00:26:12.933 --> 00:26:17.499 covers all the positions, then manually sorting out those 00:26:17.500 --> 00:26:22.100 workloads or who's doing what actions using a spreadsheet. 00:26:22.933 --> 00:26:25.233 This works best in that that budget pathway. 00:26:25.900 --> 00:26:31.300 So you would take person A plus person B to get total hours and 00:26:31.300 --> 00:26:35.733 then you would take their funding, total money 00:26:35.733 --> 00:26:36.566 available. 00:26:37.233 --> 00:26:44.999 And then in a spreadsheet, once you decide further on what 00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:52.233 everybody's doing, you would say person A is doing XYZ, person B 00:26:52.233 --> 00:26:55.166 will do CDE. 00:26:57.700 --> 00:26:59.533 And then we have the average method. 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:04.266 Develop an overall scenario that covers all the positions. 00:27:04.666 --> 00:27:09.299 Use yearly action plans than to create individual work plans for 00:27:09.300 --> 00:27:10.300 each employee. 00:27:11.933 --> 00:27:16.466 This is recommended as it is simple and requires less 00:27:16.466 --> 00:27:21.399 calculations and again works best with the budget pathway. 00:27:21.866 --> 00:27:27.066 So in the next unit, Unit 5 will go over yearly action plans, but 00:27:27.066 --> 00:27:32.066 you develop an overall scenario and then you would have person 00:27:32.066 --> 00:27:36.966 A's yearly action plan, person B's yearly action plan, person 00:27:36.966 --> 00:27:42.166 C's yearly action plan, and then you can see what each individual 00:27:42.166 --> 00:27:44.366 is doing and record as such. 00:27:46.700 --> 00:27:50.333 So it's really using the averages and then making 00:27:50.333 --> 00:27:52.466 multiple yearly action plans. 00:27:52.466 --> 00:28:00.399 Again, action plans will be covered in Unit 5 and then the 00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:07.633 third option, an overall scenario with the individual 00:28:07.633 --> 00:28:08.966 scenarios. 00:28:09.600 --> 00:28:14.233 Develop an overall scenario that covers all the positions using 00:28:14.233 --> 00:28:18.299 the overall scenario to establish suppression, savings, 00:28:18.300 --> 00:28:20.033 effectiveness, and cost. 00:28:20.633 --> 00:28:25.999 This method may be a combination of worker hours and budget 00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:26.533 paths. 00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:31.500 And then lastly option 4 develop individual scenarios and 00:28:31.500 --> 00:28:32.266 spreadsheets. 00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:37.000 Develop individual scenarios for each employee, then add the 00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:39.600 workloads up manually using the spreadsheets. 00:28:40.466 --> 00:28:45.366 This method most likely will overestimate the effectiveness 00:28:45.366 --> 00:28:50.432 and should be crossed checked against an overall scenario for 00:28:50.433 --> 00:28:55.333 differences in suppression, cost savings and effectiveness. 00:28:56.066 --> 00:28:59.366 The overall scenario should be expected to produce the most 00:28:59.366 --> 00:29:02.332 realistic estimate of fires reduced and the benefits. 00:29:03.533 --> 00:29:09.066 This method can be used with either worker hours or budget 00:29:09.066 --> 00:29:14.499 pathway and the two tables that and the math checking for 00:29:14.500 --> 00:29:20.466 accuracy are just examples of how to do each of the four 00:29:20.466 --> 00:29:21.199 options. 00:29:22.233 --> 00:29:23.833 And again, these are just options. 00:29:24.733 --> 00:29:28.499 You can definitely experiment with different trial and trial 00:29:28.500 --> 00:29:31.666 and errors and cross referencing's for those multi 00:29:31.666 --> 00:29:32.766 employee scenario.
