The Wildfire Resilience Index

Access the tool.

The Wildfire Resilience Index (WRI) is an interactive tool designed to support communities and landscapes living with wildfire in 12 Western US states, British Columbia, and the Yukon Territory (see image on the right). Wildfire is natural and inevitable across the western United States and Canada. Living with it requires a shared understanding of how systems-both ecological and human-resist harm and recover after fire. Together, these abilities define resilience.
