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

Figure 9

Scatter plot of annual burn probability versus conditional flame length estimated with for wildland urban interface (WUI) adjacent to national forests in Oregon and Washington State, US WUI definitions were obtained from the SILVIS project [103]. Fire simulation outputs obtained from [104]. Each point represents the average value for the WUI polygon. The figure shows relative risk in terms of likelihood (annual burn probability) and potential intensity (average flame length) for the individual WUIs.
