ForWarn is forest change recognition and tracking system that uses high-frequency, moderate resolution satellite data. It provides near real-time forest change maps for the continental United States that are updated every eight days. These maps show the effects of disturbances such as wildfires, wind storms, insects, diseases, and human-induced disturbances, in addition to departures from normal seasonal greenness caused by anomalous weather. Using this state of the art tracking system, it is possible to monitor post-disturbance recovery months to years after disturbance occurs.

ForWarn can be accessed from any internet browser, and is available at no cost to both the private and public sectors.
