Fire Name (Fire Unique ID) Summary Report
##### Acres

### Report Introduction

This summary report was developed using spatial data layers found in the RECOVER Data Package for this particular fire. The intent of the report is to provide a quick overview of the fire's effects and impacts on the landscape. This includes population, soils, topographic summaries and other relevant information. The user is encouraged to further explore the data layers provided by the NASA RECOVER post-wildfire decision support system to facilitate a well-informed wildfire rehabilitation plan. To assist you in these efforts, please visit the RECOVER project webpage (https://giscenter.isu.edu/research/Techpg/nasa_RECOVER2/), which provides additional tools, technologies, and capabilities. For additional details regarding all the spatial data used by RECOVER, please visit the following metadata link https://giscenter.isu.edu/pdf/PDF_NASA_RECOVER2/Metadata.pdf.

### Population Summary

These estimates are based on 2020 Census data.
2020 Census block population data estimates this fire impacted #### people living within the fire impacted area. The fire impacted area, acres, is defined by the boundaries of all HUC12 watersheds intersecting the fire boundary. Population data existed for % of the impacted area.

### Surface Management Agency Summary

These data are based on the USDI BLM Surface Management Agency (SMA) layer (Figure 1).
Figure 1. The acreage of lands managed by agencies within the fire area.

### Soils Summary

These data are based on the NRCS gSSURGO layer (Figure 2).
Figure 2. The percent area of hydrologic soil groups within the fire area. Soils can be grouped into four hydrologic soil groups (A, B, C, & D) based on their hydrologic characteristics; primarily the degree to which the soil type promotes runoff or infiltration. Hydrologic group A has the highest rate of infiltration and generates very little runoff while hydrologic group D has the lowest rate of infiltration and generates a large amount of runoff. Sands tend to promote infiltration while clays promote runoff; read more about hydrologic soil groups here: https://engineering.purdue.edu/mapserve/LTHIA7/lthianew/hsg.htm.

HYDROLOGIC SOIL GROUPS |
--- | ---
Group A | Sands that are well drained with high infiltration and low runoff
Group B | Fine to coarse soils that are well drained with moderate infiltration and runoff
Group C | Soils containing an impermeable layer that slows infiltration and promotes runoff
Group D | Soils that are largely made of clay, have a high water table, or are shallow above an impermeable layer; this soil group has the highest potential for runoff
Unk | Unknown soil type

### Land Cover Summary

These data (Table 1) are based on the most current LANDFIRE Existing Vegetation Type (EVT) data where the majority of pixels belong to the: Name and Code here
Table 1. Percent cover represents the proportion of the burned area occupied by the majority EVT cover type.

### Topography Summary

These data (Table 2-4) are based on the USGS National Elevation Dataset (NED) layer (cf. Figure 3).
Table 2. Statistics describing aspect (the direction a surface faces(Figure 3)) across the fire area.
Figure 3: A compass rose displaying aspect values ranging from 1 to 9. Values of 1 represent terrain that is considered flat, value 2 represents north facing slopes, a value of 4 represents east facing slopes, a value of 6 represents south facing slopes, and a value of 8 represents west facing slopes.
Table 3. Statistics describing elevation in meters above the local mean sea level (LMSL) across the fire area using the NAVD88 vertical datum.
Table 4. Statistics describing slope (steepness of a surface measured in degrees) across the fire area.
Slope degree values range from 0 to 90 where 0-degree slopes are flat / horizontal and 90-degree slopes are severely steep / vertical.
