National Insect & Disease Risk and Hazard Map

The Forest Health Monitoring Program and Forest Health Protection of the U.S. Forest Service has completed the 2013-2027 National Insect & Disease Risk and Hazard Map (2012 NIDRM). This interactive online mapping tool allows users to view hazards in specific areas, by specific pests. The NIDRM is a nationwide strategic assessment and database of the potential hazard for tree mortality due to major forest insects and diseases. The goal of the NIDRM is to summarize landscape-level patterns of potential insect and disease activity.
