Wildfire Risk is a scientific and up-to-date wildfire hazard and risk assessment database. The model is based on Fire Behavior analysis and accounts for physical, climatic, and man-made variables including fuel type (vegetation), fire intensity, ember impacts, burn probability, suppression factors, mitigation factors and high wind event areas as well as, insect impacts and community level attributes.

The net result is a set of uniquely generated FireShed polygons covering the United States with corresponding risk scores. There are three distinct fire environments covered by the model; Wildland, Intermix and Interface. Each of these areas has unique characteristics of structure density and fire behavior and therefore are evaluated separately to increase the models accuracy. All information is included at the address level using a unique identifier with additional proximity measurements to uncover further insight around structure specific risk.

**Use cases**

• Assess wildfire risk exposure using a model that uniquely addresses the varying characteristics of each landscape
• Maximize your bottom line by avoiding high risk areas while identifying pockets of opportunity in generally risky areas
• Understand wildfire risk at the property level rather than a macro region and price business accordingly
• Measure a property's proximity to high and very high wildfire zones.
• Visualize wildfire risk sheds for all 50 states

**Product details**

- Wildfire Risk provides scores for the following hazard types:

1. Wildland landscape risk (low structure density areas)
2. Intermix landscape risk (moderate density areas with unique community attributes)
3. Interface landscape risk (high density areas when embers are the main threat)
4. Smoke (areas that may have smoke and or evacuation impacts)

- Provides a wildfire model for all 50 states that scores the risk profile of every location from 0-49

- Includes a geo-enrichment file which appends all wildfire risk information to every affected address location using a unique identifier

- Contains proximity measurements for added insight at the address level
- Includes a supporting layer of recent fire perimeters
