Objective Produce a comprehensive wildfire susceptibility model for various counties in southeastern Idaho.

Analysis These projects build upon methods developed and improved upon in similar/completed WUI projects, principally those assessing Lava Hot Springs and Pocatello, Idaho. We generated eight component models describing individual factors (such as slope, aspect, vegetation type, response time, and structure density) that are expected to affect overall wildfire risk. Each of these models was a raster layer containing pixels with values between zero, indicating low susceptibility, and one thousand, indicating highest suscetibility. It is important to note that this is not an absolute scale, so a value of zero does not equal no susceptibility and a value of one thousand does not necessarily represent imminent danger. These models were intended to be used as decision-support tools for fire agencies, planners, and developers, not as an early-warning system for individuals.
