National Insect and Disease Risk Maps - 2012

Published by U.S. Forest Service | Department of Agriculture | Metadata Last Checked: June 24, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-03-28
FHAAST has completed the <a href='https://www.fs.usda.gov/foresthealth/applied-sciences/mapping-reporting/national-risk-maps.shtml' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>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.
