Interactive Map: Wildfire Management and Drought

Drought is one of many factors that can affect the intensity and severity of a fire. Dry, hot, and windy weather combined with dried out (and more flammable) vegetation can increase the potential for large-scale wildfires. Use the interactive map below to explore wildfire, smoke, and air quality data alongside drought and climate conditions. Or, view a full-screen version of this map.

How To Use This Map:

  • Select a map layer from the left menu bar. Use the eye icon to add or remove layers from the map and the arrow icons to adjust the opacity of the layer.
  • In the right sidebar, view detailed map information, including legends, descriptions, and data sources for each of the map layers.
  • Use the basemap icon in the top left corner of the map to change the basemap, or use the magnifying glass icon to search for a specific location.
