Accessing Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps and Data:From June to September 2008 CAL FIRE is posting Recommended maps for Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in Local Responsibility Areas. For each county, until Recommended Maps are posted, Draft Maps used to develop recommendations for cities and unincorporated LRA in the county remain available.

Hub page to facilitate local agency involvement in the Local Responsibility Area (LRA) Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) process. This page will allow local agency officials to access LRA maps and data once they are finalized.

Your contributions will help us create an interactive map of local agency Public Information Officer (PIO) contacts, which will be available on our public FHSZ website. This map will aid in addressing specific questions about Fire Hazard Severity Zones in your local community.

The Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) maps are developed using a science-based and field-tested model that assigns a hazard score based on the factors that influence fire likelihood and fire behavior. Many factors are considered such as fire history, existing and potential fuel (natural vegetation), predicted flame length, blowing embers ...

FHSZ maps are developed from a geospatial model that is designed to describe relative wildland and urban-interface fire hazard potential over the long-term for all areas of the state. Different steps were taken for modeling FHSZ in wildland areas, defined as those where a fuel model can be applied, and non-wildland areas.
