Layer: StructureExposureScore in the WUI (ID: 69)

Parent Layer: Fire-adapted communities

Name: StructureExposureScore in the WUI

Display Field:

Type: Raster Layer

Geometry Type: null

Description: This metric combines two data layers; one is the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) as defined by Carlson et al. 2022, and a second data layer, Structure Exposure Score (SES), developed by Pyrologix LLC. The WUI includes the intermix and interface zones which collectively identify areas where structures occur. The distance selected for the interface definition is based on research from the California Fire Alliance suggesting that this is the average distance firebrands can travel from an active wildfire front. Structure Exposure Score is an integrated rating of wildfire hazard that includes the likelihood of a wildfire reaching a given location along with the potential intensity and ember load when that occurs. SES varies considerably across the landscape. The data are current through 2021.--------Pyrologix uses a standard geometric-interval classification to define the ten classes of SES, where each class break is 1.5 times larger than the previous break. So, homes located within Class X are 1.5 times more exposed than those in Class IX, and so on. This metric represents SES for WUI areas only.----------------This raster has been modified from the base 30m version in the following ways:-------- - It has been aggregated from a 30m to a 300m scale by averaging across the 30m values----------------- Unit Of Measure: Relative index, 10 classes
