The ICS-209-PLUS has a creative commons liscence, so we included the datafiles used in our examples in MIKA.

In our examples and research, we use only the wildfire reports from “ics_209_plus_wildfire.zip”.

The two files we use are:

  1. The set of situation reports - “ics209-plus-wf_sitreps_1999to2014.csv”

  2. The set of incident summary reports - “ics209-plus-wf_incidents_1999to2014.csv”
