This website is intended to provide easy access to models, data, and literature that may be useful to fire responders and researchers interested in the effects of wildfire on hydrology.
The website was materialized under the ‘Urban Flood Demonstration Program (UFDP)’, which addresses the urgent and nationwide need for technology development in flood control and stream restoration in urban areas with the collaboration of the Desert Research Institute (DRI) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). UFDP has produced numerous reports, short notes, manuscripts, and data packages over the years, but these products have not been easily available to stakeholders such as USACE, district offices, and other federal agencies. This website provides easy access to those work products.
This website, and the content it contains, will continue to evolve. The data contained here, and the website organization are currently focused on resources related to wildfire impacts on watersheds as driven by the recent increase in wildfire damages and the urgency of research needs in this area.
