Teton Interagency Wildfire Hazard Report: Methods and Results
The purpose of the Teton Interagency Wildfire Hazard Report is to provide foundational information about wildfire hazard across the geographic area. Such information supports wildfires, regional fuel management planning decisions, and revisions to land and resource management plans.
The TIARA analysis considers:
- likelihood of a fire burning,
- the intensity of a fire if one should occur
To manage wildfire in TIARA, it is essential that accurate wildfire hazard data, to the greatest degree possible, is available to drive fire management strategies. These hazard outputs can be used to inform the planning, prioritization and implementation of prevention and mitigation activities, such as prescribed fire and mechanical fuel treatments. In addition, the hazard data can be used to support fire operations and aid in decision making for prioritizing and positioning of firefighting resources.
