Communities at Risk (CAR): The Communities at Risk analysis identifies which North Coast communities are most at risk from wildfire. These data, along with maps of the fireshed for each community, will be used to inform the prioritization of important projects focused on public safety and human asset protection.

Quantitative Wildfire Risk Assessment (QWRA): The QWRA produces maps that show the potential impacts of fire in a given area. By modeling burn probability and severity as well as the location of resources and assets, the model shows where fire is predicted to have an overall positive effect (i.e., by reducing hazardous fuels in a fire-adapted landscape) or negative effect (i.e., by damaging community assets and infrastructure). In locations where a negative effect is predicted, projects designed to reduce burn probability or severity and to protect community infrastructure, assets, and resources will be prioritized.

Potential Operational Delineations (PODs): The PODs assessment provides potential strategic fuel break maps, which will help to prioritize fuel break projects across the North Coast region. The PODs data products, in combination with the QWRA results, will inform decisions about where on the landscape to suppress fire and where to manage fire for resource objectives.

Mechanical Treatment Feasibility (MTF): This assessment develops spatially explicit rankings of mechanical treatment feasibility based on metrics like property ownership, road accessibility, and slope, allowing screening-out of areas where mechanical treatment is not feasible.
