Abstract:
We provide 40m resolution wildfire spread, hazard and exposure
metric raster grids for the 0.13 million ha fire-prone Bages County
in central Catalonia (northeastern Spain) corresponding to node
influence grid(NIG), crown fraction burned(CFB) and fire trans-
mission to residential houses(TR). Fire spread and behavior data
(NIG, CFB and fire perimeters) were generated with fire simulation
modeling considering wildfire season extreme fire weather con-
ditions (97th percentile). Moreover, CFB was also generated for
prescribed fire (Rx) mild weather conditions. The TR smoothed
grid was obtained with a geospatial analysis considering large fire
perimeters and individual residential structures located within the
study area. We made these raster grids available to assist in the
optimization of wildfire risk management plans within the study
area and to help mitigate potential losses from catastrophic events.
