- Abstract The USFS, Silvis Lab developed a statewide WUI layer (see metadata for more
information). New Mexico State Forestry provided Community Wildfire Protection
Plans, developed by individual counties and communities. These plans identified WUI
areas. CWPPs for 26 of 33 counties have been completed and are available. The Silvis
WUI and CWPP WUI layers were combined, except where county CWPPs had identified the
entire county as a WUI. These large CWPP identified WUI areas were removed because
the technical team did not want to bias the statewide prioritization towards
counties that had taken a more general approach to identifying WUI and away from
counties that had identified smaller WUI areas. For this reason, the technical team
recommended removal of large blocks of CWPP identified WUI areas in Torrance and
Socorro County as well. However, it is important to note that the CWPP identified
WUI areas that were removed should be still be considered priorities for planning,
particularly at county level. The Silvis WUI and CWPP WUI were combined
- Purpose WUI is the area where structures and other human development meet or
intermingle with undeveloped wildland

- Overview Description
-
- Entity and Attribute Overview The data of the New Mexico Statewide Natural Resources Assessment was organized
around eight core data themes suggested in the 2008 Farm Bill. The eight core data
themes include: Fish and Wildlife Habitat (Biodiversity), Development Risk
(Potential), Economic Development (Potential), Forest Health, Fragmentation, Green
Infrastructure, Water Quality and Supply, and Wildfire Risk. For each core data
theme, models were developed and served as the foundation for identifying the
priority landscapes within New Mexico for the Statewide Strategy and Response Plan.
While the 2008 Farm Bill provided the framework for the models developed, the Forest
and Watershed Health Plan provided the vision for the content of each model and
placed emphasis on expanding the scope to include all resources, not just forest
resources. Technical teams, comprised of subject and technical experts from agencies
and other partners, served as the advisors in the development each of the data
models. Individuals on the technical teams range from environmental organizations,
private industry, federal, state, and municipal partners, private landowners,
conservation organizations, and citizens groups. One technical team was formed for
each of the eight core data models. The WUI layer was created as an input into the
wildfire Risk model. The spatial layers are housed on the New Mexico Resource
Geographic Information System Program (RGIS), a cooperative program between the
University of New Mexico and the New Mexico Information Technology Commission and
can be found at http://rgis.unm.edu/data_entry.cfm
