Wildfire Hazard Potential, Version 2018 Classified (Image Service)

To check for the latest version of the WHP geospatial data and map graphics, as well as documentation on the mapping process, see: https://www.firelab.org/project/wildland-fire-potential. Details about the Wildfire Hazard Potential mapping process can be found in Dillon et al. 2015. Steps described in this paper about weighting for crown fire potential have been dropped in the 2018 version due to changes to the FSim modeling products used as the primary inputs to WHP mapping. The FSim products used to create the 2018 version of WHP can be found here in Short et al. 2016. Dillon, Gregory K.; Menakis, James; Fay, Frank. 2015.
