A key deliverable in the WWA project will be the GIS datasets that will be compiled and developed. This data will be available from the participating states in the project. Some example outputs derived from the 2007 Western Colorado Wildfire Risk Assessment project are shown on the right.
Numerous GIS datasets will be compiled, developed and derived during the project. These datasets are as follows:
Government Supplied Data
 |
Historical fire ignition locations |
 |
Historical fire reports |
 |
Forest assets |
 |
Municipal watershed values |
 |
Fire protection districts |
Contractor Compiled Data
 |
Counties |
 |
Congressional districts |
 |
Man made infrastructure (airports, schools, hospitals) |
 |
State and federal land ownership |
 |
Roads |
 |
Existing vegetation type (EVT) |
 |
Surface Fuels |
 |
Topography (elevation, aspect, slope) |
 |
Canopy cover percent |
 |
Canopy base height |
 |
Canopy bulk density |
 |
Canopy height |
 |
Weather observation data |
 |
Wildland development areas |
 |
Riparian Assets |
Intermediate Derived Model Output Data
 |
Fire occurrence areas |
 |
Suppression difficulty rating |
 |
Values impacted rating |
 |
Percentile weather (non-spatial) |
 |
Weather influence zones |
Risk Model Output Data
 |
Fire Effects Index |
 |
Wildland Fire Susceptibility Index (wildfire threat) |
 |
Level of Concern Index (wildfire risk) |
 |
State and Regional Statistical Summaries |
In future more detailed descriptions of the data available in the project will be posted.
