Texas Wildfire Hazard Profile

Climate-Adjusted Hazard Data · Model Version 1.0

Overview

West and Central Texas are exposed to wildfire hazard driven by drought, grassland fuels, and high winds. The Texas A&M Forest Service reports increasing wildfire frequency in the WUI zones of the Hill Country and Trans-Pecos regions. The 2024 Smokehouse Creek Fire demonstrated the scale of wildfire risk on the Texas Plains.

Notable Historical Events

12024 Smokehouse Creek Fire — 1,050,000+ acres, largest fire in TX history
22011 Bastrop County Complex — 1,673 homes destroyed (FEMA DR-4029)
32006 East Amarillo Complex — 907,000+ acres across TX Panhandle

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.
