The Michigan Technological University and the University of Arkansas project teams worked with the Idaho State University GIS Training Center to produce a debris flow probability prediction map layer for the Powerhouse Fire on the RECOVER platform. The map layer may be accessed here: RECOVER Powerhouse Fire. Please use the task bar at the top to navigate to the Layer List & Legend icon. From the drop-down menu, click on Powerhouse Debris Flow Probability to enable the map layer.

The Powerhouse Fire of 2013 led to extensive debris flows in the Lake Hughes area in Los Angeles County in October, 2015. For more information about this and other post-wildfire debris flow, click here. For more information about the NASA RECOVER Post-fire Planning Project, click here.
