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

Spatial data collected by the National Disaster Recovery Team from fire occurrence, perimeter datasets, FEMA, and local assessments. The polygons are processed through intersections with geopolitical and administrative boundaries like states, counties, and forests. The dataset is provided by the U.S. Forest Service and was last updated on 2026-03-22.

Use Cases

• Analyze disaster event overlap with administrative boundaries based on polygon intersections mentioned in the description
• Map fire perimeters and recovery assessments based on spatial data from multiple sources
• Model regional disaster risk and resource allocation based on geopolitical and forest boundary intersections

Strengths

• Data is sourced from authoritative entities like the National Disaster Recovery Team, FEMA, and state/local units
• Polygons are processed with multiple boundary layers (states, counties, congressional districts, regions, forests)
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (CSV, Shapefile, GeoJSON, KML) via provided links

Limitations

• Row count and file size (0.0 B) are unknown, which may limit 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
