Given the potential damage to forest soil and hydrological systems following intense wildfire, and subsequent negative impacts on human and natural communities, we have developed spatial data layers representing the potential for post-fire erosion, sedimentation, and flooding. The layers classify the landscape by hazard ratings and are intended for use as relative measures across the study area. They can be used singly or in combination to represent various risks of interest. The map below was developed for the Western Mogollon Rim (WMPALA) study area.
