Abstract:

The data are project results for current and future wildfire and post-fire debris flow threat to electrical infrastructure in California. The project assessed conditions using current and future fire data from Cal-Adapt, and current and future wildfire and post-fire debris flow threat from Li and Chester (doi: 10.1088/2634-4505/acb3f5), which are publicly available. Transmission line, substation, and power generation threats were assed. The work was completed in 2024 and published as a journal article in 2025.

Date of Collection:

2023-2024

Methodology and Processing

Sources Statement

Data Sources:

Current and future wildfire threat are derived from wildfire probability available through Cal-Adapt. Cal-Adapt API Docs (available at: https://berkeley-gif.github.io/caladapt-docs/index.html)
