Project Outcomes
Wildfire-prone communities face increasingly complex risks shaped by multiple factors such as fire severity, population density, vegetation, and jurisdictional boundaries. Resilience Force (RF) needs a clearer way to bring these different datasets together to identify high-risk areas, workforce gaps, and potential locations for intervention.
Through this project, Resilience Force aimed to strengthen its capacity to analyze and visualize wildfire risk and resilience data using ArcGIS Pro. The final outputs will support a more precise understanding of high-risk regions, workforce gaps, and potential intervention sites.
Developed layered map layouts for Los Angeles, Marin & Sonoma counties using the available wildfire risk and resilience datasets helped RF to increase its visibility in these areas. Training materials will help the Resilience Force team to independently create, update, and use GIS maps for future wildfire risk analysis, increasing the team’s in-house capacity.
Key technology/tools used: Geographic Information System (GIS), ArcGIS Pro 3.7
