Wildfire Risk Analysis
Fire hazard mapping using fuel load, dryness and wind data.
Purpose
Identify wildfire ignition and spread risk in forests and the wildland-urban interface in advance.
Analysis Method
Integrating fuel load and dryness indices, wind direction/speed modeling and fire-spread simulation in GIS.
Data Sources
- · Satellite-based vegetation index (NDVI)
- · Meteorological wind data
- · Land cover (CORINE)
- · Digital elevation model
- · Historical fire records
Outputs
- · Fire hazard map
- · Wildland-urban interface map
- · Fire-service access analysis
Benefits
- · Preventive intervention planning
- · Fire resource positioning
- · Input for insurance risk assessment
Sample Use Scenario
A forestry directorate requests a hazard map to identify high-risk blocks ahead of the summer season.
