In a study published on feb. 7, our team of climate scientists, fire scientists and eco hydrologists mapped out where vegetation is creating the highest fire risks across the western u.s. we then compared that map to where in the region people have been moving into the wildland urban interface. Wildfire risk to communities is a free, easy to use website with interactive maps, charts, and resources to help communities understand, explore, and reduce wildfire risk.
