Section 2: Chapter 3: Collection of Baseline Data from the Forest Department A coordination meeting was held in each forest circle, division and range. This exercise was of value as the FD officials were briefed on the need and the importance of the data for the basin level CAT Plan. NERIL’s field investigators and experts received the highest degree of corporation from all levels of the HPFD. In fact, our field investigators were always accompanied by the HPFD staff during their survey of the MWs. This coordination resulted in high reliability and accuracy of the data obtained during the survey of MWs. These meetings also resulted in better coordination.
