Files: Texas_Wildfire_March_2022_Report.pdf

Description: High winds, low humidity, and drought-parched grasses
caused wildfires across the Southern Plains of the United States in 
mid-March 2022, including Texas. The United States Department of 
Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) responded 
to inquiries regarding the extent of agriculture affected by the Texas 
wildfires in near real-time. Wildfire perimeter location data was 
provided by the National Interagency Fire Center. False color composite 
images were generated from Sentinel-2 to represent pre- and post-fire 
images. The pre-fire image is a median image derived from January 1 
through February 28 images and the post-fire image was derived from 
imagery dated March 20. Fire masks were derived from the MODIS Terra 
Thermal Anomalies & Fire Daily Global 1km Product dated March 17-21, 
2022 to verify wildfire boundaries. Land cover information was derived 
from the NASS 2021 Cropland Data Layer.
