Probabilistic risk assessment for wildfires
Environmetrics, 2006AbstractForest fires are an important societal problem. They cause extensive damage and substantial funds are spent preparing for and fighting them. This work develops a stochastic model useful for probabilistic risk assessment, specifically to estimate chances of fires at a future time given explanatory variables.

Circulation patterns, wildfire risk and wildfire occurrence at continental Spain
Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Parts A/B/C, 2010Abstract Daily weather variability is a major factor affecting the behaviour of wildfires. This paper analyzes the links between atmospheric circulation at synoptic scale, weather conditions influencing fires at regional scale and the occurrence of very large forest fires in continental.

Aging and wildfire risk to communities
The population of the United States is aging as the Baby Boom generation grows older. In 2020, 23 percent of the U.S. population had reached age 60. The share of the population at older ages is forecast to increase to 26 percent in 2030 and 29 percent in 2050. Wildfire risks are also increasing, and older populations are especially vulnerable.Winkler, Richelle L. +1 more

Vision based wildfire and natural risk observers
2012 3rd International Conference on Image Processing Theory, Tools and Applications (IPTA), 2012Wildfires are natural risk phenomena that cause significant economic and environmental damage. In wildfire fighting strategy it is important to detect the wildfire in its initial stage and to apply, as soon as possible, the most appropriate fire fighting action.

Dynamic Wildfire Risk Modelling
This paper describes a framework for modelling the in situ risk associated with wildfires in order to inform on their immediate local management and longer term risk mitigation strategies. It positions the work within the wider set of risks associated with wildfire (ignition, fuel load management, process models) before describing the components of a ...Ibrahim, Abdelrahman +3 more

Wildfire Risk Assessment System
International Scientific Journal of Engineering and ManagementAbstract: This project aims to develop a predictive model for forest fire detection using historical fire datasets and weather report features. Leveraging Data Science and Machine Learning techniques, the model learns from past fire incidents—incorporating factors such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and rainfall—to detect the likelihood of ...

Wildfire Hazards, Risks and Disasters
2015More than 90% of wildfires are caused by human activity, but other causes include lighting, drought, wind and changing weather conditions, underground coal fires, and even volcanic activity. Wildfire Hazards, Risks, and Disasters, one of nine volumes in the Elsevier Hazards and Disasters series, provides a close and detailed examination of wildfires ...
