Wildfire spread, hazard and exposure metric raster grids for central Catalonia
We provide 40 m resolution wildfire spread, hazard and exposure metric raster grids for the 0.13 million ha fire-prone Bages County in central Catalonia (northeastern Spain) corresponding to node influence grid (NIG), crown fraction burned (CFB) and fire transmission to residential houses (TR). Fire spread and behavior data (NIG, CFB and fire perimeters) were generated with fire simulation mode...
متن کاملThe wildland-urban interface raster dataset of Catalonia
We provide the wildland urban interface (WUI) map of the autonomous community of Catalonia (Northeastern Spain). The map encompasses an area of some 3.21 million ha and is presented as a 150-m resolution raster dataset. Individual housing location, structure density and vegetation cover data were used to spatially assess in detail the interface, intermix and dispersed rural WUI communities with...
متن کاملWildfire Hazard Mapping Using Cellular Automata
Since fuel load is a major factor influencing wildfire risk, the standard approach to build related hazard maps is mainly grounded on land-cover data. However, the risk level is also influenced by other factors interacting nonlinearly, such as wind, fuel moisture, ignition sources and topography. For these reasons, an increasingly used approach for the computation of hazard maps involves the ex...
متن کاملRisk Externalities, Wildfire Hazard, and Private Investment to Mitigate Wildfire Risk in the Wildland-Urban Interface
Homeowners in areas adjacent to wildlands – in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) – can mitigate the risk that their home will be damaged in a wildfire by creating “defensible space” on their property. This article explores homeowners’ incentives to invest in defensible space using a unique data set on 35 WUI communities in Nevada. This is the first study to analyze homeowners’ incentives to in...
متن کاملDynamic Data Driven Application System for Wildfire Spread Simulation
Wildfires have significant impact on both ecosystems and human society. To effectively manage wildfires, simulation models are used to study and predict wildfire spread. The accuracy of wildfire spread simulations depends on many factors, including GIS data, fuel data, weather data, and high-fidelity wildfire behavior models. Unfortunately, due to the dynamic and complex nature of wildfire, it ...
