On-line tool provides detailed wildfire risk information to the public

There is now a new on-line tool so people see detailed wildfire risk information for cities, communities and homeowners.

This interactive tool, known as the Southern Wildfire Risk Assessment Portal – or SouthWRAP – was developed by the Florida Forest Service and the Southern Group of State Foresters.

SouthWRAP allows users to pinpoint a specific location and identify wildfire threats based on landscape characteristics, historical fire occurrence, weather conditions and terrain.

The site also routes users to resources that can help them tackle identified threats and reduce wildfire risk.

The SouthWRAP Public Viewer is currently open and available to the general public at SouthernWildfireRisk.com.
