Where wildfire risk and social vulnerability coincide: mapping place vulnerability to wildfire over the coterminous US

Creator:: Wigtil, Gabriel A.
Abstract:: The hazards-of-place model of vulnerability to environmental hazards posits that vulnerability has biophysical and social components. While biophysical characteristics are important in predicting locations of elevated wildfire risk, the social characteristics of human communities may help us predict locations of elevated wildfire impacts. We examine the relationship between biophysical and...
