PRODUCT COVERAGE: Continental United States
METHODOLOGY:The data was created considering the effects of vegetation, relative humidity, precipitation, temperature and slope. The data was generated using 1 km grid squares. There are several basic components of the EQECAT Wildland fire risk rating model. The wildfire burn model incorporates the effects of vegetation fuel load (including moisture content and burning characteristics) and temporal effects such as wind speed, wind direction, and seasonal humidity to develop a measure of fire risk. These components are considered in developing the Wildland Fire Rating Risk Score which provides a stable metric for comparing wildland fire risk nationwide.
WHAT DATA IS INCLUDED:The data contains detailed qualitative measures of the wildfire likelihood. Specifically, the data returns a value of high, moderate, low, and very low.
