RAMS provides a consistent process for developing prevention and fuels management programs. RAMS allows users to prioritize areas within their planning unit, consider various prevention and/or fuels treatment alternatives, and develop a budget.

RAMS includes three components: Assessment, Prevention, and Fuels. The assessment portion of RAMS is intended to identify the highest priority areas in which to consider fuels and/or prevention work. In the fire prevention module, users develop one or more fire prevention options, with costs and work details. The RAMS fuels analysis identifies potential fuels treatment strategies and projects. A final report printed from RAMS shows any or all of the Assessment, Prevention, or Fuels work.
