How It Works

Calculate wildfire risk for properties using drought index, vegetation type, slope, wind speed, and proximity to fuel breaks. USFS fire weather index components

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Drought index — The drought index recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Vegetation type — The vegetation type recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Slope — The slope recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Wind speed — The wind speed recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Proximity — The proximity recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the wildfire risk result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the drought index, vegetation type, slope, wind speed, proximity for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate wildfire risk for properties using drought index, vegetation type, slope, wind speed, and proximity to fuel breaks. USFS fire weather index components. Use the wildfire risk result to inform your clinical assessment.
