WFRAS – CASE STUDY

Western Colorado Wildfire Risk Assessment Program

Samples showing data from the Western Colorado Wildfire Risk Assessment Program. The primary output depicting Wildfire Threat (probability of a wildfire occurring) was derived by combining historical fire ignitions, weather observations, surface fuels, canopy characteristics, and other input data with robust fire science. Sanborn’s wildfire risk models are actively employed in 14 states and provide the information necessary for decision makers to evaluate communities-at-risk, prevention efforts and mitigation activity planning.
