As a result of the severity of wildfires in 2000, identifying communities at risk became a National mandate. Pursuant to fiscal 2001 appropriations, collaborative interagency groups identified wildland-urban interface communities, including developments which are at risk from wildfire. Many communities submitted by States were omitted from the Federal Register due to specific direction from Congress limiting communities to those "in the vicinity of federal lands." This data set includes those communities listed in the Federal Register (August 17,2001) as well as additional areas identified by States, Tribes, federal agencies, and local partners. Idaho identified all "communities" at being at risk from wildfire. The Federal Register directed States to update the list as needed, but there are no plans to publish subsequent lists in the Federal Register. The website for the Federal Register is: http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/publications/about_the_federal_register.html
"Commmuities at Risk" data layer will be updated as needed.
