Bushfire prone area - Queensland series

This product is the State-wide mapping of the Bushfire Hazard Area (Bushfire Prone Area) developed by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in conjunction with the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service (QFES).The Bushfire Hazard Area (Bushfire Prone Area) is provided as a separate shapefile for different regions of Queensland.\nLineage: State-wide Bushfire Prone Area Mapping is produced by combining maps of potential fire weather severity, slope and potential fuel load to determine the potential fire-line intensity of a bushfire. The final Bushfire Prone Area map is generated from potential fire-line intensity mapping by removing areas that do not meet a minimum potential fire-line intensity threshold, removing small and disconnected patches of vegetation that are less likely to be ignited or would not sustain a severe bushfire, adding a potential impact buffer, smoothing map data to replicate naturally occurring boundaries and designating a hazard class at intensity thresholds.
