Sensitivity Index for Cariboo & Kamloops

These maps depict the sensitivity of the assets towards wildfire. We observed that higher areas of sensitivity coincided with areas that scored higher on the vegetation index; i.e. areas with more fuel. Similarly, areas with ecological reserves or protected areas (as per table of protected area) are the least sensitive to wildfires when compared to provincial parks and recreation areas.
