In the spring of 2008, the City of Baltimore expressed an interest to upgrade the City GIS Database with mapping quality airborne LiDAR data. The City of Baltimore currently had in place a contract for mapping GIS/services with the KCI/Sanborn Joint Venture Partnership, L.L.C. under Project 1051. The City of Baltimore issued Change Order #1 on on Project 1051 for the LiDAR acquisition and processing. KCI/Sanborn acquired the LiDAR data over the City of Baltimore (approximately 90 square miles) during one long mission on 15 April 2008. A Leica Airborne Airborne Laser Scanner Model ALS 50 was used in a Sanborn Aero Commander 500B (Registration N6172X) to acquire the data. The airborne mission was flown 15 April 2008. The LiDAR system acquired calibration data the same day by conducting flight passes over a known ground surface before and the LiDAR mission. During final data processing, the calibration parameters were used in the final post-processing software. The acquired LiDAR data were processed to obtain the following deliverables: -DEMs of first and last returns and bare earth (all point data) -LAS format data in a tile grid provided by the City/KCI -Gridded DEM in ESRI format (Arc Binary Grid -Arc/INFO Lattice ) produced from Bare Earth Mass Points in 1-meter resolution (Grid size) -Associated FGDC compliant metadata in XML format The project specifications called for the LiDAR survey to comply with industry standard FEMA guidelines for accuracy. The FEMA requirement for this type of mapping calls for vertical errors not to exceed 0.185 meter (0.61 feet) RMSE when compared with ground check points over open flat terrain and 0.370 meter (1.22 feet) for other types of terrain. This accuracy requirement was comfortably met with comparing LiDAR derived elevations against 50 ground control check points provided by KCI Technologies. These control points were photo control points used as part of the photogrammetric mapping project and independent LiDAR checkpoints surveyed by KCI and Mercado after the data was delivered. The RMSE error observed was 0.058 meter (0.189 feet) over all 50 check points.

The data included in this publication depict the 2024 version of components of wildfire risk for all lands in the United States that: 1) are landscape-wide (i.e., measurable at every pixel across the landscape); and 2) represent in situ risk - risk at the location where the adverse effects take place on the landscape.National wildfire hazard datasets of annual burn probability and fire intensity, generated by the USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station and Pyrologix LLC, form the foundation of the Wildfire Risk to Communities data. Vegetation and wildland fuels data from LANDFIRE 2020 (version 2.2.0) were used as input to two different but related geospatial fire simulation systems. Annual burn probability was produced with the USFS geospatial fire simulator (FSim) at a relatively coarse cell size of 270 meters (m). To bring the burn probability raster data down to a finer resolution more useful for assessing hazard and risk to communities, we upsampled them to the native 30 m resolution of the LANDFIRE fuel and vegetation data. In this upsampling process, we also spread values of modeled burn probability into developed areas represented in LANDFIRE fuels data as non-burnable. Burn probability rasters represent landscape conditions as of the end of 2020. Fire intensity characteristics were modeled at 30 m resolution using a process that performs a comprehensive set of FlamMap runs spanning the full range of weather-related characteristics that occur during a fire season and then integrates those runs into a variety of results based on the likelihood of those weather types occurring. Before the fire intensity modeling, the LANDFIRE 2020 data were updated to reflect fuels disturbances occurring in 2021 and 2022. As such, the fire intensity datasets represent landscape conditions as of the end of 2022. Additional methodology documentation is provided in a methods document (\Supplements\WRC_V2_Methods_Landscape-wideRisk.pdf) packaged in the data download.The specific raster datasets in this publication include:Risk to Potential Structures (RPS): A measure that integrates wildfire likelihood and intensity with generalized consequences to a home on every pixel. For every place on the landscape, it poses the hypothetical question, "What would be the relative risk to a house if one existed here?" This allows comparison of wildfire risk in places where homes already exist to places where new construction may be proposed. This dataset is referred to as Risk to Homes in the Wildfire Risk to Communities web application.Conditional Risk to Potential Structures (cRPS): The potential consequences of fire to a home at a given location, if a fire occurs there and if a home were located there. Referred to as Wildfire Consequence in the Wildfire Risk to Communities web application.Exposure Type: Exposure is the spatial coincidence of wildfire likelihood and intensity with communities. This layer delineates where homes are directly exposed to wildfire from adjacent wildland vegetation, indirectly exposed to wildfire from indirect sources such as embers and home-to-home ignition, or not exposed to wildfire due to distance from direct and indirect ignition sources.Burn Probability (BP): The annual probability of wildfire burning in a specific location. Referred to as Wildfire Likelihood in the Wildfire Risk to Communities web application.Conditional Flame Length (CFL): The mean flame length for a fire burning in the direction of maximum spread (headfire) at a given location if a fire were to occur; an average measure of wildfire intensity.Flame Length Exceedance Probability - 4 ft (FLEP4): The conditional probability that flame length at a pixel will exceed 4 feet if a fire occurs; indicates the potential for moderate to high wildfire intensity.Flame Length Exceedance Probability - 8 ft (FLEP8): the conditional probability that flame length at a pixel will exceed 8 feet if a fire occurs; indicates the potential for high wildfire intensity.Wildfire Hazard Potential (WHP): An index that quantifies the relative potential for wildfire that may be difficult to manage, used as a measure to help prioritize where fuel treatments may be needed.Additional methodology documentation is provided with the data publication download.
