WUI risk mapping
Where structures, fuels and access combine into exposure worth planning for.
WUI risk exists before the fire starts
Technology can also help departments understand where community exposure, fuels, structures, weather and fire behaviour create increased risk before an incident occurs.
Technology approaches
Wildfire Hazard Potential
Forest Service data on the relative potential for difficult wildfire across the landscape.
National Fire Danger Rating System
The national scale for how receptive conditions are today.
Community risk mapping
Local risk assessment that turns the national picture into a district-level plan.
Predictive fire behaviour tools
Modelling used before an incident, for planning and pre-positioning.

Government, standards and peer-reviewed sources on this problem. Every address here was checked before it was published.
Official resource
Wildfire and the Wildland Urban Interface
USFA's collected WUI research, guidance and community material.
Why it matters
The fire-service framing of WUI risk, rather than the land-management one.
Research
Wildfire Hazard Potential
National mapping of the relative potential for wildfire that would be difficult to control.
Why it matters
A defensible basis for where mitigation effort goes, and for the case you make for funding it.
Official resource
Wildfire Risk to Communities
Risk data down to the community level, built for people who are not analysts.
Why it matters
The version you can put in front of a council without translating it first.
How these sources are labeled
- Official resource
- A government or standards body. Neutral, no commercial interest.
- Research
- Academic or laboratory work.
Nothing here is paid placement. Links are chosen because they are the clearest explanation we could find, and labeled so you know who wrote them.
