Create a simple features data frame for Geographic Area Coordination Centers (GACCs). These are regions defined by the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC).
The full resolution file will be named "GACC.rda". In addition, "_05", _02" and "_01" versions of the file will be created that that are simplified to 5%, 2% and 1%. Simplified versions will greatly improve the speed of both searching and plotting.
convertGACC()Name of the datasetName being created.
A GACC shapefile is downloaded and converted to a
simple features data frame with additional columns of data. The resulting
file will be created in the spatial data directory which is set with
setSpatialDataDir().
The source data is from 2020.
