The purpose of the USFS Northern Region Wildfire Risk Assessment (NoRRA) 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 […]
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 geographic area. Such information supports wildfires, regional fuel management planning decisions, and revisions to land and resource management plans. A wildfire risk assessment is a […]
This assessment evaluates wildfire threat to residential structures in western Montana. It entails a comprehensive analysis of fire simulation outputs and structure locations that emphasizes the fire effects, fire exposure, potential loss, and exposure-source for residential structures. The assessment incorporates two types of residential structure exposure: direct and indirect. Direct-exposure structures may be directly exposed […]
Wildfire is at once a naturally occurring agent for ecological change and a potentially destructive natural phenomenon akin to earthquakes and floods. As wildfire occurrence has increased over the last several decades, so too has interest in the modeling of wildfire behavior. Wildfire behavior modeling is used across a variety of spatial and temporal scales, […]
Grand Teton National Park (GTNP) and the Bridger-Teton National Forest (BTNF) cover approximately 3.7 million acres within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The majority of this land base is fairly remote, much of it either designated Wilderness or roadless, and composed of fire-adapted ecosystems. To add complexity to the fire environment, this fire dependent landscape is […]
