Background:  The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is leading the development of a Wildfire Hazard and Risk Mapping initiative, as directed by Senate Bill 6120. This effort aims to enhance wildfire preparedness by identifying areas at risk and providing general hazard assessments.

This project will support communities, emergency responders, and policymakers in reducing wildfire impacts across Washington by creating accessible and standardized wildfire hazard and risk information.  More info here DNR Link
