Where Midway (Seminole)'s buildings actually sit

What would actually reduce this score
With 54.9% of Midway (Seminole) in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Midway (Seminole)'s 93rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Midway (Seminole), see the exposure-zones guide.
