FlameMapper


Agoura Hills, CA, United States

Overview


Our mission is to reduce catastrophic wildfire outcomes for communities and partners by providing the data, tools, and know-how needed to make informed mitigation choices. Through our products and services, we aim to lower the number of structures and lives lost to wildfires. We won’t go to market with a product or service unless we have confidence in its ability to provide accurate results. From how we engage with our clients to the solutions we produce; integrity underpins everything we do. Our way is different, and we mean it. We put humans at the center of everything we do, including the methodology we use to assess the impacts of wildfire on people and property. We use our firsthand experience as emergency responders to understand how fires begin and the key variables that influence them, which leads to the development of more effective mitigation solutions. No two communities or customers we serve are alike. We aspire to create products and services that are able to account for location-specific conditions to help the greatest number of people. We give governments, communities, and partners knowledge about at-risk assets, fire probability, fire propagation, and more. By doing so, we equip them with the information needed to develop approaches that, over time, build resilience.

Overview:

Our largest customers are the City of Malibu, City of Beverly Hills, Beverly Hills Fire Department and Laurence Berkeley Nation Laboratories. We also have customers in the insurance and private sector as well. All of our customers would speak well on our behalf. Our primary focus in on pre-wildfire mitigation. No other company is situated in this space with the ability to run near-real-time wildfire modeling within the ArcGIS platform. Too often wildfire mitigation projects are the right project, in the wrong location(s). Our emphasis is directed towards linking science and logical thinking to action. Therefore helping to put effective projects in the locations that yield results. Our expertise is understanding risk to help identify and reduce vulnerabilities and thus drastically reduce the overall impact a wildfire event potentially would have on our customers. FlameMapper's methods provide statistically justified mitigation plans that indicate what needs to change to alter fire behavior. It is possible to encourage a fire to burn around valuable infrastructure instead of burning through it. Our customers find this incredibly valuable and such has lead to a tremendous amount of project scope expansion with our clients.
