Public Viewer
Identify your risk
Are you at Risk?
Wildfire continues to threaten people and property across Texas. Rapid population
growth into Wildland Urban Interface areas and an increasing frequency of elevated
fire weather conditions represent major concerns moving forward into the future.
Heightened awareness of wildfire risk, prevention and mitigation are becoming increasingly
important to ensure safety. The Texas Wildfire Risk Assessment Portal provides access
to information that describes wildfire risk statewide.
