Issues, solutions, and case studies for wildfire-spread-modelling

Solutions 4

#00327Conduct rapid post-fire erosion and watershed-risk assessments

Map burn severity, soil, slope, forecast rainfall and downstream exposure soon after fire to identify where intervention is justified.

#00322Publish PM2.5 monitoring and wildfire smoke forecasts

Public health and weather agencies publish current and predicted fine-particle exposure across local areas, with consistent thresholds and guidance.

#00317Model wildfire evacuation and road capacity

Simulate departure timing, traffic, fire spread, road failure and assisted evacuation to identify scenarios in which current routes cannot reach safety.

#00309Build wildfire digital twins and real-time spread simulations

Maintain dynamic terrain, fuel and weather models to test treatments, estimate spread and support evacuation and response decisions.

Case studies 1

Federal University of Minas Gerais partners and participating conservation units · Region

A near-real-time web system combines satellite hot pixels, fuel condition, and simulation to predict fire spread across the Cerrado, with higher-resolution use in participating conservation units. Independent evidence o…
