National Insect and Disease Risk Maps - 2012

FHAAST has completed the <a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/foresthealth/applied-sciences/mapping-reporting/national-risk-maps.shtml" rel="nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">2013 - 2027 National Insect and Disease Risk Map (2012 NIDRM)</a>; a nationwide strategic assessment and database of the potential hazard for tree mortality due to major forest insects and diseases. The goal of NIDRM is to summarize landscape-level patterns of potential insect and disease activity, consistent with the philosophy that science-based, transparent methods should be used to allocate pest-management resources across geographic regions and individual pest distributions. In other words: prioritize investment for areas where both hazard is significant and effective treatment can be efficiently implemented.<div><br>This record was taken from the USDA Enterprise Data Inventory that feeds into the <a href="https://data.gov">https://data.gov</a> catalog.
