The Secretaries, in coordination with the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, shall establish and maintain a database, to be known as the Rapid Response Erosion Database (referred to in this section as the Database ). The Secretaries shall make the Database (including the original source code)— web-based; and available without charge. The Database shall provide for— the automatic incorporation into a burn severity map of spatial data relating to vegetation, soils, and elevation; and the generation of a composite map that can be used by the Secretary concerned to model the effectiveness of treatments in the burned area to prevent flooding, erosion, and landslides under a range of weather scenarios.
The Secretary concerned shall use, to the maximum extent practicable, the Database in developing recommendations for emergency stabilization treatments or modifications to drainage structures to protect values-at-risk following a large wildland fire.
