Fire Hazard Severity Mapping

Current Fire Status and Evacuation Situation for Your Location:

Find your current location on the map to get wildfire status and sign up for alerts. Be informed before, during, and after a wildfire event or evacuation.

• Current status and evacuation info with the Zonehaven / Genesys map.

• Berkeley GIS map with evacuation routes.

CAL FIRE provides the definitive statewide Fire Hazard Severity Map.

And be sure to check before you sell your home: Homeowners in “high” or “very high” severity zones must apply for a Defensible Space Inspection prior to selling their home. Find out more on CAL FIRE’s Fire Hazard Severity Map information page.

Bay Area Hazard Mapping:

These include options to view layers with past wildfire locations and look at other hazards as well. This is the most comprehensive set of maps we have found.

• Bay Area Interactive Wildfire Risk and Fire History Map (MTC/ABAG)

• Berkeley Interactive CWPP Map with multiple layers showing evacuation routes, vegetation, WUI and more.

• Castro Valley Fire Hazards (from Public Review Draft of the Castro Valley General Plan 2011).
