Abstract:

Community At Risk rating for Hazard: Resistance to control once a fire starts, considering weather, topogrophy, and fuels characteristics that adversely effects suppression efforts. Based upon a calculated value from 7 grids: weather, slope, aspect, elevation, fuel, crown fire potential, and insect damage. ([weather_f]*025 + [slope_f]*0.04 +[aspect_f]*0.06 + [elevation_f]*0.02 + [fuel_f]*0.30 + [crownfire_f]*0.13 + [insect_f]*0.20). If fuel = 0, then rating = 0. Rating: 0.1-1 = 1(L), 1.1-1.8 = 2(M), 1.9-2.1 = 3(H), and 2.2+ = 4(VH). See GIS Process for Identifying Communities At Risk.doc

Purpose:

Oregon Communities At Risk assessment for 2004 for the National Fire Plan. Resistance to control once a fire starts, considering weather, topogrophy, and fuels characteristics that adversely effects suppression efforts.
