Abstract

As climate change exacerbates wildfire risks globally, innovative geospatial technologies are becoming crucial for effective fire management.
This article discusses a groundbreaking project by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) in collaboration with Ecopia AI, which utilizes AI-generated mapping data to assess wildfire hazards across California's Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Covering over 32 million acres, this comprehensive dataset includes detailed information on buildings, infrastructure, and environmental features that influence fire behavior. The project enhances wildfire preparedness, supports
rapid post-fire recovery, and offers a scalable model for fire-prone regions worldwide. By integrating high-resolution aerial imagery with advanced AI analysis, this initiative exemplifies the potential of geospatial solutions to improve community safety and infrastructure resilience in the face of escalating wildfire threats.
