Washington Wildfire Hazard Profile
Hazard Data · Model Version 2.5
Overview
Washington's wildfire hazard is concentrated in Eastern Washington shrub-steppe and Cascades forests, with increasing WUI exposure in the Okanogan, Wenatchee, and Chelan valleys. The 2014 and 2015 fire seasons broke state records for acreage burned. NIFC data shows Washington wildfire activity correlates with Pacific Northwest drought cycles.

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.
