Florida Wildfire Hazard Profile

Climate-Adjusted Hazard Data · Model Version 1.0

Overview

Florida experiences frequent wildfire activity driven by lightning-prone weather, dry-season drought, and extensive pine flatwoods and palmetto understory. The Florida Forest Service reports the state averages over 4,000 wildfires annually. WUI expansion in Central and North Florida increases structural exposure.

Notable Historical Events

12024 Coconut Road Fire — large WUI fire in Lee County
22017 West Mims Fire — 152,000+ acres in Okefenokee Swamp area
32011 Honey Prairie Complex — 309,000+ acres (FEMA FM-2963)

Hazard Scoring Approach

CivilSense computes a Climate-Adjusted Hazard Score (0–10) for wildfire hazard at any US address. The score is composed of weighted sub-components derived from federal data sources and peer-reviewed research. All score components are transparent and returned in API responses.

These are hazard scores — physical intensity likelihood only. They do not include property exposure or vulnerability data. We never call a hazard score a risk score. See the full methodology for scoring details.
