Wildland/Urban Interface (WUI) fires and communities at risk are high priorities to federal land management agencies. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Upper Snake River District (USRD) Geographic Information Systems (GIS) team, in cooperation with Idaho State University's (ISU) GIS Training and Research Center (GIS TreC), have created a model to predict potential fire risk at the wildland/urban interface. To create a WUI fire model, topography, vegetation characteristics, and suppression access are taken into consideration. Modelling results are reported for several counties and cities in Idaho and are accompanied by contact information for the authors and by links to related sites.
