Identify risk
Analyze historic trends, identify wildland fire risk on the landscape, and help prepare and engage the public in holistic planning efforts that identify, inform, and prioritize future fuel mitigation projects.
Prepare, mitigate, suppress, and recover with location intelligence
Agencies around the world manage wildland fires from beginning to end with location intelligence from Esri's ArcGIS software. Land managers and firefighters use dynamic maps and GIS tools to identify risks and craft mitigation strategies. During fires, mobile data collection tools and map-based dashboards with live data feeds inform decisions that save lives and property.
Analyze historic trends, identify wildland fire risk on the landscape, and help prepare and engage the public in holistic planning efforts that identify, inform, and prioritize future fuel mitigation projects.
Implement and track hazardous fuels reduction projects, quantify defensible space and home hardening efforts, and manage prescribed fire.
Manage an incident with location-based technology and easily request, assign, manage, and track resources. Use maps to provide incident managers, elected officials, and the public with critical information during a fire.
Quickly assess damage and track debris removal to provide access to impacted areas. Identify areas at the highest risk of postfire flooding and landslides with burn severity analysis that supports emergency stabilization efforts. Determine where to restore environments over the long term.
As wildland fires occur more frequently, burn with greater intensity, and impact more acreage, the fire season has transitioned to a fire year. The increase in wildland fire severity exposes new communities to wildland fires and exacerbates the risk to traditionally threatened communities. GIS software supports improved understanding of the surrounding landscape and strategic mitigation efforts that can break the wildland fire response cycle. This executive brief shares how GIS helps decision-makers build resilience across each phase of a wildland fire.
