Wildfire_Mechanical_Fuel_Treatments

Dataset description - Wildfire mechanical fuel treatments are vegetation reduction projects also known as "Shaded fuel Breaks". Shaded fuel breaks are wildfire mitigation techniques used for wooded areas near homes and other structures. The foliage is reduced by trimming low-hanging branches, the clearing of undergrowth, and the removal of dead and downed trees. The shaded fuel break is designed so that a wildfire that reaches this area may be more easily controlled. This dataset supports measure HE.E.5.c of SD23. Data Source: Austin Fire Department (HE.E.5.c.AFD_Number and percentage of buildings, roadways, and properties whose exposure to wildfire risk have decreased due to City efforts) Calculation: STRUCTURES PROTECTED / YEAR Measure Time Period: Annually (Fiscal Year) Automated: yes Date of last description update: March 30, 2020
