Florida Wildfire Hazard Profile
Hazard Data · Model Version 2.5
Overview
Florida experiences frequent wildfire activity driven by lightning-prone weather, dry-season drought, and extensive pine flatwoods and palmetto understory. The Florida Forest Service reports the state averages over 4,000 wildfires annually. WUI expansion in Central and North Florida increases structural exposure.

Hazard Scoring Approach
Calchis computes a Calchis Hazard Score (0–10) for wildfire hazard at any US address. The score is composed of weighted sub-components derived from federal data sources and published research. All score components are transparent and returned in API responses.
These are hazard scores — physical intensity likelihood only. They do not include property exposure or vulnerability data. We never call a hazard score a risk score. See the full methodology for scoring details.
