A national approach for integrating wildfire simulation modeling into Wildland Urban Interface risk assessments within the United States

•Employs a probabilistic exposure analysis to identify the likelihood of populated places interacting with wildfire.•Classified at-risk areas according to a risk matrix comprised of population density and burn probability categories.•Risk matrix allows planners and managers a quick way to identify w...
