FireGUARD (Fire Growth under Uncertainty for Appropriate Response Decision Support) is designed to support wildland fire response decicion-making. FireGUARD contains four core elements:
- generation of weather forecast scenarios
- generation of a burn probability map from replicated simulation of fire growth, smouldering, and natural extinction under the weather scenarios and stochastic fire behaviour scenarios
- assessment of 'risk' (i.e., likelihood-weighted impacts) by multiplying the spatial burn probability by a spatial rating of potential socio-economic impact, and
- (in progress for future implementation) estimation of the cost of response alternatives
All covered works (e.g., copies of this work, derived works) must include a copy of the file (or an updated version of it) that details credits for work up to the time of the original open source release. That file is available here.
Please note that:
- This repository is the original open source version that originated from proprietary, internal work
- Our intention is to maintain this repository (1) as a record of the original open source version and (2) as a discoverable pointer to the active fork
- The project is being actively developed in another fork
- As of 2024-09-24, the active fork is https://github.com/CWFMF/FireSTARR
- We anticipate that the active fork will soon be split into separate repositories for various components
FireGUARD is published at the following locations:
- Weather forecast model
- Burn probability model (In progress)
- Impact and likelihood-weighted impact model
FireGUARD is the overall suite of products for creating probabilistic fire growth outputs.
