Community zones for assessing wildfire exposure in the continental US
Ken Bunzel, Alan A. Ager
Fort Collins, CO
vector digital data
The community zones dataset delineates populated places in the continental US and their associated wildland urban interface (WUI) as part of assessments to quantify wildfire transmission to communities. Research has shown that less than 20% of buildings in non-WUI areas are exposed to wildfire yet there are no community-level datasets that include the most vulnerable areas to wildfire, those areas where homes and structures are built among wildland vegetation. Local and regional risk planning processes can use these boundaries to better define and map the scale of wildfire risk from large fire events and incorporate wildfire network and connectivity concepts into risk assessments.<div><br /></div><div><p style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0.75rem; max-width:100%;'><span style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; max-width:100%; display:inherit;'>Community zones were created for the continental US to pair US Census populated places with wildland urban interface data (WUI) where homes and structures are built among wildland vegetation. This allows the assessment of community scale exposure while incorporating areas and buildings within them that are at the greatest exposure from wildfires and the source of many wildland ignitions. Research has shown that between 10% and 20% of buildings in non-WUI areas are exposed to wildfire (Ager et al. 2021; Kramer et al. 2019), yet there are no community-level datasets that include the WUI where the majority of exposure and loss is experienced. Current community wildfire protection planning (CWPP) guidelines are based on perimeters typically defined by administrative boundaries. The lack of a spatial planning framework for the CWPP process has led to a wide range of planning scales (e.g., neighborhoods, towns, multiple towns, entire counties) and associated boundary delineations that are potentially unrelated to the spatial extent of fire transmission to communities (Ager et al. 2018).</span><span style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; max-width:100%; display:inherit;'><br /></span><span style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; max-width:100%; display:inherit;'>Referenced sources:</span><span style='font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; max-width:100%; display:inherit;'><br /></span><span style='max-width:100%; display:inherit;'><font face='Avenir Next W01, Avenir Next W00, Avenir Next, Avenir, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif'><span style='font-size:16px;'>Ager, Alan A.; Day, Michelle A.; Ringo, Chris; Evers, Cody R.; Alcasena, Fermin J.; Houtman, Rachel M.; Scanlon, Michael; Ellersick, Tania. 2021.
