The 2018 Wildland Hazard Potential (WHP) represents areas of uncharacteristic fuel buildup. The WFP is a raster geospatial product produced by the USFS Fire Modeling Institute in the Fire, Fuel, and Smoke Program. Higher values have a higher probability of high-intensity fire, with torching, crowning, and other forms of extreme fire behavior. Data used represent areas classified as high or very high hazard. The LANDFIRE Fire Regime Groups (FRG) raster dataset (US_140FRG_10252017) was used to identify moderate fire regimes (Regimes I and II). Fire regime groups represent expected historical fire regimes based on interactions between vegetation dynamics, fire spread, fire effects, and spatial context. The definitions of the regimes are outlined in the Interagency Fire Regime Condition Class Guidebook. The data for this indicator represent areas identified as having high or very high wildland hazard potential and fire regime groups I and II.

The wildfire hazard potential (WHP) is a raster geospatial product at 270-meter resolution covering all lands in the conterminous United States. It can help to inform evaluations of wildfire risk or prioritization of fuels management needs across very large landscapes (millions of acres). Our specific objective with the WHP map is to depict the relative potential for wildfire that would be difficult for suppression resources to contain.

The first edition (https://doi.org/10.2737/RDS-2015-0046) represents WHP mapped in 2014, depicting landscape conditions as of 2010. This second edition is the 2018 version, and depicts landscape conditions as of 2012. (See \Supplements\WHP2014_to_2018_ChangeSummary.pdf for a summary of the changes between the first and second editions of these data.)�,

The 2023 Wildland Hazard Potential (WHP) represents areas of significant fuel buildup. The WHP is a raster geospatial product produced by the USFS Fire Modeling Institute in the Fire, Fuel, and Smoke Program. Higher values have a higher probability of high-intensity fire, with torching, crowning, and other forms of extreme fire behavior. Data used represent areas classified as “high” or “very high” risk. The LANDFIRE Fire Regime Groups (FRG) raster dataset (LC16_BPS_200) was used to identify moderate fire regimes (Regime groups I and II). Fire regime groups represent expected historical fire regimes based on interactions between vegetation dynamics, fire spread, fire effects, and spatial context. The definitions of the regimes are outlined in the Interagency Fire Regime Condition Class Guidebook. The data for this indicator represent areas identified as having “moderate”, “high”, or “very high” wildland hazard potential within fire regime groups I and II.
