Project Description

Project Title: Data inputs and outputs for wildfire suppression spending long-run projections, January 1992-December 2099

Summary: This data publication contains the Stata code as well as the historical data input and multiple modeling output files, provided as comma-separated values files, needed to replicate a study on the long-run projected suppression spending by the USDA Forest Service and the U.S. Department of the Interior to the end of the 21st century. Historical monthly input data apply to all national forests and grasslands managed by the Forest Service in the 50 states of the United States and for all lands managed or administered by the bureaus of the Department of the Interior by geographic regions for the 50 states of the United States, 1992-2020. Historical suppression spending data span 2005-2020 for the Forest Service and 2012-2020 for the bureaus of the Department of the Interior. Additional historical monthly climate data and historical data on measures of aggregate fuels, the number of housing units, and personal income are also provided. Future projections by ten scenarios of future climate are of monthly area burned, sums of the square root of area burned, and real (2022 U.S. dollars) suppression spending, by month and aggregated to federal fiscal years (October 1 to September 30), from 1999-2099. Model input and outputs are provided for 1) all 49 U.S. states, excluding Alaska, and 2) all 50 states, including Alaska.
