Wildfire Risk Assessment, Northeast Oregon

The purpose of the USFS Pacific Northwest Region Wildfire Risk Assessment (PNRA) is to provide foundational information about wildfire hazard and risk to highly valued resources and assets across the Region. Such information supports regional fuel management planning decisions, as well as revisions to land and resource management plans. A wildfire risk assessment is a quantitative analysis of assets and resources and how they would be potentially impacted by wildfire. The PNRA analysis considers several different components, each resolved spatially across the region, including:

• likelihood of a fire burning,

• the intensity of a fire if one should occur,

• the exposure of assets and resources based on their locations, and

• the susceptibility of those assets and resources to wildfire

This dataset is a 30-m cell size representation of wildfire risk to one or more Highly Valued Resource or Asset (HVRA) selected for inclusion in the PNRA Quantitative Wildfire Risk Assessment. This data layer is part of a set of wildfire risk results developed for the USFS Pacific Northwest Region Wildfire Risk Assessment (PNRA). Please reference the PNRA project report for information on data sources and reference the “PNRA_RF-RI_02.15.18_v12.2.xlsx” spreadsheet for raster value interpretation along with wildfire response functions and relative importance used in these calculations.

These results use 30-m FSim wildfire behavior results. For information on downscaling methods, please see the metadata associated with the PNRA_FSim_30v3.gdb results.
