BdyDesg Disaster Recovery Event: U.S. Forest Service Geospatial Data

U.S. Forest Service BdyDesg Disaster Recovery Event data contains spatial information collected by the National Disaster Recovery Team. Data is aggregated from fire occurrence and perimeter datasets, FEMA, and state and local disaster response assessments, then processed to intersect with geopolitical and administrative boundaries. The dataset was last updated on 2026 03 22 and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyze wildfire impact areas based on processed fire perimeter polygons.
• Map disaster recovery events to administrative units like counties and congressional districts.
• Assess regional disaster response by intersecting event data with forest and regional boundaries.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from authoritative entities including FEMA and the National Disaster Recovery Team.
• Polygons are processed through intersections with multiple boundary types (states, counties, forests).
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (CSV, Shapefile, GeoJSON, KML).

Limitations

• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
