Ignition Risk (Anthropogenic and Lightning Event) adjusted for overall vegetation moisture. The combined anthropogenic and lightning event ignition risk model was adjusted using a vegetation moisture image created with the tassled cap procedure (vegetation moisture). The anthropogenic and lighting ignition risk models were created using supervised classifications based on vegetation types that increased the risk of ignition for each model, that were then weighted by factors appropriate to each model (roads-anthropogenic, lighting strike pattern-lightning).
This image composite formed component 1 of the final comprehensive wildfire risk model (weight 0.225%)
