Wildfire Risk
Wildfire Risk is a cutting-edge database that helps assess wildfire hazards and risks. It considers various factors like terrain, climate, and human activities, such as the slope of the land, type of vegetation, frequency of past fires, proximity to water, wind patterns, non-burnable surfaces, and the distance to fire stations.
Using these factors, the model creates unique fireshed polygons across the United States, each with its own risk score. Plus, it provides detailed information at the address level, including proximity measurements to help understand the specific risk to individual structures.
Wildfire Risk Extreme
Wildfire Risk Extreme is a companion to Wildfire Risk, designed to help you understand the impact of severe wildfire conditions across the U.S. It takes into account crucial factors like temperature, humidity, and maximum wind speeds and directions during extreme fire weather. These factors are essential in predicting fast-spreading urban fires, also known as urban conflagrations.
This tool provides a detailed and comprehensive wildfire hazard and risk assessment across the country, combining predictions of wildfire severity and frequency. It delivers actionable information for any location in the U.S. under extreme weather conditions.
