The U. S. Forest Service has announced a new online resource titled Wildfire Risk to Communities that provides new data and analyses using interactive mapping and grouped under the headings:

• Risk to Homes
• Exposure Type
• Wildfire Likelihood
• Vulnerable Populations

The maps cover all of California and are searchable for any specific area. Above is a screen shot showing one of the interactive maps covering El Dorado County. To the right is a screen shot of another map zoomed in to our council area.
