Fire Factor

Fire Factor fire risk assessment

As part of the Pyregence Consortium, Spatial Informatics Group partnered with the risk analysis firm First Street Foundation to create a property-level wildfire risk model for every property in the conterminous United States. The First Street Foundation Wildfire Model (FSF-WFM) is the first national, climate-adjusted, property-specific wildfire risk assessment in America. FSF-WFM informs Fire Factor, First Street Foundation’s fire risk data product.

PyreCast

Pyrecast application

PyreCast empowers agencies and individuals to make decisions regarding evacuation orders, suppression and containment strategies, power grid shut-offs, and more by providing them with near real-time fire updates, fire spread forecasts, and fire risk assessments.

Planscape

Planscape application

Planscape is a free decision support tool built to maximize wildfire resilience and ecological benefits across the State of California.
Planscape helps regional planners prioritize landscape treatments to mitigate fire risk, maximize ecological benefits and help California’s landscapes adapt to climate change
Planscape is a collaborative effort by the California Natural Resources Agency and US Forest Service, The University of California, and Spatial Informatics Group (SIG) with support from Google.org.

Forest Carbon Analysis Tool

Forest Carbon Analysis Tool FCAT

Spatial Informatics Group and its partners needed a way to model carbon mitigation impacts in forestlands. So we built FCAT. This system automates SIG’s open science Reduced Emissions from Megafires methodology to quantify and monetize carbon emissions avoided through forest treatments that reduce the severity and scope of wildfires.

California Interagency Treatment Dashboard

California Interagency Treatment Dashboard

SIG developed a free, open science dashboard that combines wildfire and landscape resilience project information from over a dozen different state and federal agencies. The dashboard provides a broad overview of statewide information, including summary statistics, and also allows users to drill down to specific projects along a number of different dimensions.
