BdyDesg Disaster Recovery Event Segmented: U.S. Forest Service Geospatial Polygons

U.S. Forest Service data containing geospatial polygons for disaster recovery events. The data is compiled by the National Disaster Recovery Team from fire occurrence datasets, FEMA, and state/local assessments, then intersected with geopolitical and administrative boundaries. The dataset was last updated on 2026-03-22 and is provided by the U.S. Forest Service.

Use Cases

• Map disaster event impacts based on intersections with county and congressional district boundaries mentioned in the description
• Analyze spatial overlap of fire perimeters and administrative regions based on the described processing method
• Model disaster recovery resource allocation based on segmented forest and regional boundaries

Strengths

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

Limitations

• Row count and file size are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
