Burn Severity Portal, a clearing house of fire severity and extent information (ver. 8.0, August 2024)
September 26, 2022
The various post-fire data products available on the Burn Severity Portal are produced using satellite imagery. The timing of the satellite imagery used, relative to the fire event, typically depends on the vegetation type and structure where the fire occurred. Each mapping program produces a suite of data products based on user intended user needs. You can find additional details in each of the available areas.
