Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Boundaries designated in the Jackson and Josephine County Integrated Fire Plans
In The Wilderness Society’s report, Targeting the Community Fire Planning Zone: Mapping Matters, landscape ecologist Bo Wilmer and forest ecologist Dr. Greg Aplet find these definitions to be both immensely important and extremely elusive. Community Fire Planning Zones (CFPZ) — areas in and around communities where federal, state and local fire managers should focus their efforts to mitigate fire risk — include tens of millions of acres, much of which is private land. In order to successfully tackle such an immense planning challenge, protection strategies must be tightly focused and well-informed. But because each state uses a different method to designate communities at risk, no national-scale definition of the...
Wildland Urban Intermix This layer contains polygon features of urban intermix zones. This zone (WUI) is an area where human habitation is mixed with areas of flammable wildland vegetation. It extends out from the edge of developed private land into Federal, private, and State jurisdictions. Abstract from CDF-FRAP wui03_1 grid layer: These data describe relative risk to areas of significant population density from wildfire by intersecting residential housing unit density with proximate fire threat to give a relative measure of potential loss of structures and threats to public safety from wildfire. These data are consistent with general National Fire Plan ideals, but is more refined both in terms of mapping extent...

The Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) is the area where houses meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland vegetation. This makes the WUI a focal area for human-environment conflicts such as wildland fires, habitat fragmentation, invasive species, and biodiversity decline. Using geographic information systems (GIS), we integrated U.S. Census and USGS National Land Cover Data, to map the Federal Register definition of WUI (Federal Register 66:751, 2001). These data are useful within a GIS for mapping and analysis at national, state, and local levels.
This dataset depicts Wildland Urban Intermix zones within the Sierra Nevada Forest of Region 5. These Forests include Modoc, Lassen, Plumas, Tahoe, Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, Eldorado, Stanislaus, Sierra, Inyo, Sequoia and Toiyabe portion of the Humbolt-Toiyabe of Region 4. These data describe relative risk to areas of significant population density from wildfire by intersecting residential housing unit density with proximate fire threat to give a relative measure of potential loss of structures and threats to public safety from wildfire. These data are consistent with general National Fire Plan ideals, but is more refined both in terms of mapping extent and in terms of quantification of risk. Within California,...
This dataset depicts wildland-urban interface areas in Oregon, as mapped by the Oregon Department of Forestry. The Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) is the area where houses meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland vegetation. This makes the WUI a focal area for human-environment conflicts such as wildland fires, habitat fragmentation, invasive species, and biodiversity decline. Using geographic information systems (GIS), we integrated U.S. Census and USGS National Land Cover Data, to map the Federal Register definition of WUI (Federal Register 66:751, 2001).
This dataset depicts Wildland Urban Interface areas identified during the Forest Plan Revision process for Southern California National Forests, 2005.

Idaho communities at risk from wildfire, as listed in the Federal Register (August 17,2001). Assist land managers in prioritizing areas that would benefit from hazardous fuels reduction and community assistance programs. Listing is intended to focus management on priority areas, but does not determine whether a particular community receives funding. This dataset was used in the "Idaho Interagency Assessment of Wildland Fire Risk to Communities, 2006" to derive Communities At Risk From Wildland Fire of Idaho - Map 6B. It has also been used in other BLM planning efforts such as Resource Management Plans, Fire Management Plans, and NEPA analysis.

In The Wilderness Society’s report, Targeting the Community Fire Planning Zone:Mapping Matters, landscape ecologist Bo Wilmer and forest ecologist Dr. Greg Apletfind these definitions to be both immensely important and extremely elusive. CommunityFire Planning Zones (CFPZ) — areas in and around communities where federal,state and local fire managers should focus their efforts to mitigate fire risk —include tens of millions of acres, much of which is private land. In order to successfullytackle such an immense planning challenge, protection strategies must be tightlyfocused and well-informed. But because each state uses a different method to designatecommunities at risk, no national-scale definition of the CFPZ exists...
For this analysis, it was assumed that a relative measure of the risks to communities from wildland fire could be characterized by integrating relative wildland fire risk, relative wildland fire hazard, and wildland urban interface. That is, within the wildland urban interface, risks are directly associated with the probability that an area will burn, as well as the likely fire behavior that would occur if that area did in fact burn. It was assumed that burn probability and likely fire behavior would contribute equally to the risks to communities. Agriculture, rock, urban, and water were not assigned a burn probability or relative fire behavior. Consequently, by definition, communities within these cover classes...
For the purposes of this analysis, Wildland Urban Interface is mapped using 2000 Census data and the communities listed in Idaho as "at risk" in the 2001 Federal Register (Vol. 66, Number 160, August 17, 2001), buffered by 1 mile. There were weaknesses with both data sets; data representing "urban wildland communities" are commonly not incorporated communities, nor are they areas that can be precisely located from a geographic standpoint. The Census data accounts for permanent residences only; it does not account for seasonal residences (e.g., summer cabins and ski area condominiums), or residences occurring on public lands (e.g. leased cabin sites). These data were designed to characterize mid-scale patterns across...

Filters for WUI and Non-WUI Vegetative Treatment This prioritization was determined by a consensus of the Southwestern Crown Collaborative’s members and is based on a logical sequence of spatial data filters that were developed consistent with the Montana Forest Restoration Principles (http://www.montanarestoration.org), Forest Landscape Restoration Act, and the best available data for the landscape. Filters were determined based on a landscape-scale analysis for several reasons. First, a landscape analysis helps collaborative groups communicate, discuss, and eventually reach consensus on why and where restoration projects should be implemented. The process is crucial for stakeholders to understand the priorities...

Burn probability (BP) models involve the simulation of multiple individual wildfires across a landscape to obtain estimates of fire likelihood at any given location based on ignition source, local terrain, fuels and weather. We used FlamMap software to generate BP for 10,000 simulated fires under the three ignition scenarios: human ignition scenario (HIS), lightning ignition scenario (LIS) and random ignition scenario (RIS) for 13 sky island mountain ranges in Arizona. The zipped folder contains 42 BP models in geotiff format. The naming convention for each tiff is: mountain_range_name + scenario type (human, lightning, or random) + bp.
