Community Wildfire Protection Plan The City of Austin’s Wildfire Database and Risk Models were developed to support wildfire planning and mitigation efforts in the City of Austin. The areas in Austin most likely to be impacted by wildfire are referred to as the Wildland Urban Interface. This data helps identify the potential impacts of wildfire to a diverse set of values ranging from the built environment and Critical Infrastructure to habitat and green infrastructure. A full description of the Risk model can be access through this link. http://www.austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/hsem/Section_4_-_Risk_Assessment.pdf The Data was collected and analyzed by Joseph White Fire Behavior Researcher with Baylor University. It was derived from numerous sources as listed in the CWPP Risk Assessment Guide http://www.austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/hsem/Section_9_-_References.pdf The data was created during the CWPP development process starting in April of 2013 and was refined up to the adoption of the CWPP and data in November of 2014. The goal is to update the data every 5 years or as more updated data becomes available.
