The purpose of the USFS Pacific Northwest Region Wildfire Risk Assessment (PNRA) is to provide foundational information about wildfire hazard and risk to highly valued resources and assets across the Region. Such information supports regional fuel management planning decisions, as well as revisions to land and resource management plans. A wildfire risk assessment is a quantitative analysis of assets and resources and how they would be potentially impacted by wildfire. The PNRA analysis considers several different components, each resolved spatially across the region, including:
• likelihood of a fire burning, • the intensity of a fire if one should occur,
• the exposure of assets and resources based on their locations, and • the susceptibility of those assets and resources to wildfire |
