Integrating Fire Behavior Models and Geospatial Analysis for Wildland Fire Risk Assessment and Fuel Management Planning

Figure 6

Flow chart (a) of process for creating binary landscape files for modeling fire behavior in FlamMap and FARSITE from inventory or LANDFIRE grid data for the Mt. Emily study area and the ArcFuels form (b) is used to convert the ArcGIS grids. Treatments are effected using adjustment databases as described in the ArcFuels user’s guide. A separate form exists for processing outputs from FVS simulations or for using multiple sources of ArcGIS grid data. The form can be used to modify LANDFIRE grid data to reflect proposed fuel treatments.
