Wildfire Risk to Communities Wildfire Exposure Type (Image Service)
This dataset depicts Wildfire Exposure Type for the United States. It is part of the Wildfire Risk to Communities: Spatial datasets of landscape-wide wildfire risk components for the United States. Wildfire exposure is the spatial coincidence of wildfire likelihood and intensity with communities. This layer delineates where homes are directly exposed to wildfire from adjacent wildland vegetation, indirectly exposed to wildfire from indirect sources such as embers and home-to-home ignition, or not exposed to wildfire due to distance from direct and indirect ignition sources (> 1 mile). Vegetation and wildland fuels data from LANDFIRE 2014 (version 1.4.0) form the foundation for the Wildfire Risk to Communities data. As such, the data presented here reflect landscape conditions as of the end of 2014. National wildfire hazard datasets of annual burn probability and fire intensity were generated from the LANDFIRE 2014 data by the USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station (Short et al. 2020) using the large fire simulation system (FSim). These national datasets produced with FSim have a relatively coarse cell size of 270 meters (m). To bring these datasets down to a finer resolution more useful for assessing hazard and risk to communities, we upsampled them to the native 30 m resolution of the LANDFIRE fuel and vegetation data. In this upsampling process, we also spread values of modeled burn probability and intensity into developed areas represented in LANDFIRE fuels data as non-burnable.�<div><br></div><div>Additional methodology documentation is provided with the data publication download.�<a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/rds/archive/Catalog/RDS-2020-0016" rel="nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Metadata and Downloads.</a>�</div><div><br></div><b>Note: </b>Pixel values in this image service have been altered from the original raster dataset due to data requirements in web services.
