Description:

Abstract:

These data show model estimates of debris flow likelihood and volume that may be produced by a storm in a recently burned landscape. The scientific methods used by the U.S. Geological Survey Emergency Assessment of Post-Fire Debris-Flow Hazards were changed following 2015, and these shapefiles are a re-release of ten fires that occurred between 1997 and 2015 fires, using the updated methods. These ten fires were re-run to provide estimates of debris flow volumes as post-fire debris flows were documented but no field measurements were published.

Purpose:

These data were produced as part of a USGS effort to estimate post-fire erosion across California from large wildfires between 1984 and 2021. They were intended to provide debris flow volume estimates for large wildfires where post-fire debris flows were documented but not measured, using methods that match those applied to fires between 2016 and 2021.

Supplemental_Information:

Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. Although this Federal Geographic Data Committee-compliant metadata file is intended to document the dataset in nonproprietary form, as well as in Esri format, this metadata file may include some Esri-specific terminology. Note that although the metadata says the data are in UTM-10N projection, some of the files are in UTM-11N.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

The attributes in this table are the input and output variables for two empirical models – a probability model and a volume model. The probability model does not have an estimation of accuracy, but the volume model provides a minimum and a maximum alongside the value. However, these models were developed based on field data in the western US and have not been tested for accuracy elsewhere.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

These data fall within the expected range and polygons do not overlap as they each represent distinct watersheds. No nested basins appear to be present, but the data was not systematically checked for errors.

Completeness_Report:

No data were intentionally omitted from the dataset, though the methods used to produce these data are designed to produce rapid, preliminary datasets used for hazard assessment and there is no QA/QC protocol, and thus some attributes may be incomplete within this dataset.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

These data were created on a 10-meter Digital Elevation Model (DEM) but a formal accuracy assessment of the horizontal positional information in the data set has not been conducted. Note that although the metadata says the data are in UTM-10N projection, some of the files are in UTM-11N.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

A formal accuracy assessment of the vertical positional information in the data set has not been conducted
