Oregon Wildfire Hazard Profile

Hazard Data · Model Version 2.5

Overview

Oregon's wildfire hazard spans the Cascades, Eastern Oregon rangelands, and Willamette Valley WUI interface. The 2020 Labor Day fires demonstrated that wind-driven fire events can threaten major population centers in the Willamette Valley under extreme conditions. Oregon Department of Forestry and NIFC data show increasing fire season severity consistent with regional warming and drought trends.

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.
