This disastrous fire burned for 10 weeks at a record cost of more than $208 million for protection and control. A progressive analysis of the normalized burn ratio from the Landsat satellite showed that the final high burn severity (HBS) area for the Soberanes Fire comprised 22% of the total area burned, whereas final moderate burn severity (MBS) area comprised about 10% of the total area burned of approximately 53,470 ha (132,130 acres). The resulting landscape pattern of burn severity classes from the 2016 Soberanes Fire revealed that the majority of HBS area was located in the elevation zone between 500 and 1000 m, in the slope zone between 15% and 30%, or on south-facing aspects. The total edge length of HBS areas nearly doubled over the course of the event, indicating a gradually increasing landscape complexity pattern for this fire. The perimeter-to-area ratio for HBS patches decreased by just 3% over the course of the fire, while the HBS clumpiness metric remained nearly constant at a relatively high aggregation value.

Pazin, Chief PREPARED BY: Dennis Smithson, Assistant Chief State Coroners Mutual Aid Coordinator ADDRESS: Governor’s Office of Em ergency Services Law Enforcement and Victim Services Division Law Enforcement Branch 3650 Schriever Avenue Mather, CA 95655 (916) 845-8700 - Office Warning Center (24 Hours) 916-845-8911 PLEASE NOTE: This guide does not supersede nor is it exclusive of the State of California Coroners’ Mutual Aid Plan. Both are intended to be compatible in the event of a catastrophic mass fatality event. The Coroners’ Mutual Aid Plan and companion documents may be found at www.oes.ca.gov. 3 Foreward The care and management of the dead as a result of a catastrophe is one of the most difficult aspects of disaster response and recovery operations. California has experienced several disasters over the last half-century, but none that has overwhelmed the capacity of the coroner/medical examiner mutual aid system to care for the deceased victims of these events. Tomorrow we may not be as fortunate. California’s natural disaster vulnerability, added to the increasing possibility of terrorism within its borders, could produce mass fatalities that may make the events of recent U.S. history pale in comparison. This document represents a significant step in identifying the important and necessary role of state agencies in supporting the local Coroners and Medical Examiners in performing their essential duties pertaining to catastrophic mass fatality incidents.
