Description: This feature class GIS dataset contains building footprints depicting building shape and location in the state of Oregon. All contributing datasets were compiled into the stateside dataset. Static datasets or infrequently maintained datasets were reviewed for quality. New building footprint data were reviewed and digitized from the Oregon Statewide Imagery Program 2017 and 2018. (DOGAMI, 2021)
Description: The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation.

Description: Social vulnerability refers to the social, economic, and cultural factors that influence access to resources and influence the ability of individuals, households, or communities to prevent, respond to, and recover from events such as wildfire (Coughlan et al., 2019; Cutter et al., 2003). Some examples of social, economic, or cultural factors that may influence social vulnerability to wildfire include income, language proficiency, cultural and psychological relationships to fire and land management, and level of trust in government (Coughlan et al., 2019). The SVI map layer developed for SB 762 identifies areas in the state that may be more vulnerable to the impacts of wildfire following the methodologies of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) (Centers for Disease Control Social Vulnerability Index 2018 Documentation, 2022) which was initially developed by Flanagan et al. (2011) for disaster risk management. NOTE: The SVI dataset within the Oregon Explorer tool underwent an update on February 5, 2024 to rectify inaccuracies in the original data. The initial SVI layer computations omitted data pertaining to the indicator "adults over age 65." We strongly recommend individuals who downloaded SVI data prior to this update revise their records accordingly.
