People & Fire webGIS tool for wildfire risk assessment
| Resumo: | People&Fire webGIS tool is an application for wildfire risk assessment, focused on obtaining simulating hazard and risk scenarios centred on land use transformation. This tool is a decisionsupport platform created in the context of a research project, which was dedicated to testing a new analytical framework for supporting the development and evaluation of new, integrated, and people-centred policy approaches to wildfires. The simulator used in the tool is based on the wildfire risk model that results from the combination of three components: hazard (H), exposure (E), and social vulnerability (SV). Based on the wildfire risk model and using real data, from a study region particularly susceptible to forest wildfires the as-is and to-be scenarios demonstrate People&Fire webGIS capacity. People&Fire webGIS tool is available for download at https://github.com/nmileu/peopleandfire. |
