Fire following the Mw 7.0 HayWired earthquake scenario

These data are a geospatial representation of potential damage resulting from fires following the HayWired earthquake scenario, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake occurring on the Hayward Fault on April 18, 2018, with an epicenter in the city of Oakland, CA. These data take information about prevailing conditions (for example, average wind speed and direction) and potential hazard information (for example, ground shaking and liquefaction) and model the resulting fire-based damages which could occur following the HayWired scenario mainshock. The results are presented as a series of Voronoi polygons centered on known fire stations in the region.

This vector .SHP dataset was developed and intended for use in GIS applications such as ESRI's ArcGIS software suite.
