* Metric Name: Wildfire Hazard Potential  

* Tier: 1  

* Data Vintage: 2022  

* Unit Of Measure: Relative index

Wildfire Hazard Potential (WHP) is an index that quantifies the relative
potential for wildfire that may be difficult to control. WHP can be used as a
measure to help prioritize where fuel treatments may be needed.

* Creation Method: Pyrologix calculated WHP following the methods established by Dillon et al. (2015) and Dillon (2018). The original methods utilize lower-resolution FSim inputs, while our approach uses higher-resolution inputs including 30-m CAL vegetation inputs (derived from LANDFIRE 2016), 30-m CAL fuel model outputs, 30-m CAL burn probability results, and 30-m CAL fire-effects flame-length probabilities from the WildEST wildfire behavior results.
