Description: Overall Wildfire Risk is the product of the likelihood and consequence of wildfire on all mapped highly valued resources and assets combined: critical infrastructure, developed recreation, housing unit density, seed orchards, sawmills, historic structures, timber, municipal watersheds, vegetation condition, and terrestrial and aquatic wildlife habitat.<b>This dataset considers the likelihood of wildfire >250 acres (likelihood of burning), the susceptibility of resources and assets to wildfire of different intensities, and the likelihood of those intensities. </b> The data values reflect a range of impacts from a very high negative value, where wildfire is detrimental to one or more resources or assets (for example, structures, infrastructure, early seral stage and/or sensitive forests), to positive, where wildfire will produce an overall benefit (for example, vegetation condition/forest health, wildlife habitat). </br></br>Be aware that conditions vary widely with local topography, fuels, and weather, especially local winds. In all areas, under warm, dry, windy, and drought conditions, expect higher likelihood of fire starts, higher flame lengths/fire intensities, more ember activity, a wildfire more difficult to control, and more severe fire effects and impacts.</br></br><b>Benefit:</b> Wildfire risk is beneficial, overall, for mapped resources and assets combined (for example, the cumulative value is positive, typically due to beneficial effects on forest health/vegetation condition and/or wildlife habitat). Benefit represents 0-14.5th percentile of positive values on the landscape.</br></br><b>Low Benefit:</b> Wildfire risk is slightly beneficial for mapped resources and assets combined (for example, forest health/vegetation condition, wildlife habitat), producing a "fuel treatment effect" at very low flame lengths. Benefit represents 14.5 to 29th percentile of positive values on the landscape.</br></br> <b>Low:</b> Wildfire risk is low to all mapped resources and assets combined: critical infrastructure, developed recreation, housing unit density, seed orchards, sawmills, historic structures, timber, municipal watersheds, vegetation condition, and terrestrial and aquatic wildlife habitat. Low represents the 29th to 50th percentile of values across the landscape.</br></br><b>Moderate:</b> Wildfire risk is moderate to all mapped resources and assets combined: critical infrastructure, developed recreation, housing unit density, seed orchards, sawmills, historic structures, timber, municipal watersheds, vegetation condition, and terrestrial and aquatic wildlife habitat. Moderate represents the 50th to 80th percentile of values across the landscape.</br></br><b>High:</b> Wildfire risk is high to all mapped resources and assets combined: critical infrastructure, developed recreation, housing unit density, seed orchards, sawmills, historic structures, timber, municipal watersheds, vegetation condition, and terrestrial and aquatic wildlife habitat. High represents the 80th to 95th percentile of values across the landscape.</br></br><b>Very High:</b> Wildfire risk is very high to all mapped resources and assets combined: critical infrastructure, powerlines, developed recreation, housing unit density, timber, municipal watersheds, vegetation condition, and terrestrial and aquatic wildlife habitat. Very High represents the top 5 percent of values across the landscape.</br></br>(Pacific Northwest Quantitative Wildfire Risk Assessment, USFS, 2018. Full Layer Name: _Total_eNVC)
