<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This data is derived from two data sources: sawmills identified by USDA and the Fireshed registry data. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Sawmill location and volume data was produced by combining a layer of sawmill data from 2014 with an up-to-date layer for the western United States. Mills that do not process roundwood were removed from the dataset. Mill data was then aggregated via a 50 kilometer buffer around each fireshed to capture the the number and size of mills most likely to be able to process wood harvested from within a fireshed. This was then classified into five classes based on the following breakpoints:</SPAN></P><UL><LI><P><SPAN>Very Low (1): </SPAN><SPAN>0 - 6,250 MCF</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>Low (2): </SPAN><SPAN>6,250 - 18,000 MCF</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>Moderate (3): </SPAN><SPAN>18,000 - 33,750</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>High (4): </SPAN><SPAN>33,750 - 61,750</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>Very High (5): </SPAN><SPAN>61,750 - 111,625</SPAN></P></LI></UL><P><SPAN>This data was combined with the MOGCA Current Threats score to produce a bivariate visualization of the data. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The Fireshed Registry is a geospatial dashboard and decision tool built to organize information about wildfire transmission to communities and monitor progress towards risk reduction for communities from management investments. The concept behind the Fireshed Registry is to identify and map the source of risk rather than what is at risk across all lands in the continental US. While the Fireshed Registry was organized around mapping the source of fire risk to communities, the framework does not preclude the assessment of other resource management priorities and trends such as water, fish and aquatic or wildlife habitat, or recreation. The Fireshed Registry is also a multi-scale decision tool for quantifying, prioritizing, and geospatially displaying wildfire transmission to buildings in adjacent or nearby communities. Fireshed areas in the Fireshed Registry are approximately 250,000 acre accounting units that are delineated based on a smoothed building exposure map of the continental United States.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
