We evaluate relative fire danger in individual subwatersheds of an entire map zone. We show how evidence for fire danger can be modeled as a logic-based discourse in a decision support system to support national, regional, and local landscape analysis and planning. Results of evaluations are expressed in terms of evidence for low wildfire danger in each subwatershed. This information is used subsequently in a decision model to prioritize subwatersheds for treatment, considering additional logistical information.
