their wildfire analysis is wildly inaccurate and foolhardy
Inventory of Assets Exposed to Wildfire According to HAZUS database,
Rockdale County had 34,017 structures, of which 34,017 (100%) were
located within the wildfire hazard area. The City of Conyers had 8,136
structures, of which 8,136 (100%) were located within the wildfire
hazard area. See Appendix D (Wildfire Section) for GEMA Worksheet #3a
which provides a complete inventory of assets and has been completed
for both Rockdale County and the City of Conyers.
Future Impacts and Probability for Climate Change Rockdale County and
the City of Conyers have experienced 0 wildfires from 2010-2023, which
equates to a 1% chance of a wildfire event occurring on any given day.
However, it must be taken into consideration that the daily chance of
a wildfire event will continue to increase annually as a result of
continuous climate changes. The wildfire season has lengthened in many
areas due to factors including warmer springs, longer summer dry
seasons, drier soils and dead vegetation.
most areas show 1 foot flame lengths
anyone see the problem with this?
how much flame length does it take to burn down a house? how about 1
ember that is 1 millimeter long?
on the other hand - they do say - Wildfires are a serious threat to
Rockdale County. Between 2017 and 2023 there have been 412 wildfires
(brush, grass, wildland) (by Cause) reported by the Rockdale County
Fire Department (Rockdale County Fire and Rescue).
county fd only has 2 brush trucks iirc
