- Metric Definition and Relevance: This metric combines two data layers; one is the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) as defined by Carlson et al. 2022 (see, a, section for more information), and a second data layer, Damage Potential (DP), developed by Pyrologix LLC. The WUI includes the intermix and interface zones which collectively identify areas where structures occur. The distance selected for the interface definition is based on research from the California Fire Alliance suggesting that this is the average distance firebrands can travel from an active wildfire front., p, - Creation Method: This metric represents DP for WUI areas only. DP values were binned based on the following ranges into 6 classes and assigned class names., ul, p, ul, p, p, p, p, p, ul, p, p, p, p, p
