Hazardous material and debris removal
The process of documenting and managing the removal of debris after a wildfire is a difficult but necessary procedure for recovery and rehabilitation. With GIS, you can collect locations of debris and hazardous materials (hazmat), analyze exposure zones when needed, and plan and distribute resources where they are needed most in the community. Using maps and dashboards, you can monitor and evaluate recovery indicators while providing transparency to elected officials and the public as the recovery progresses.
Environmental stabilization
Burn severity is the degree of change to the watershed and soil function caused by a wildland fire. Using GIS and imagery, GIS specialists can analyze the burn severity to identify areas of greatest change. These areas can be targeted with postfire rehabilitation measures and stabilization efforts to safeguard further impacts as a result to the destabilization of the forest floor. Deploy field teams with GIS tools they can use to collect information on the ground and empower them to refine plans in place and provide communications to the community about long-term rehabilitation.
Long-term recovery and restoration
The need for rehabilitation following a wildfire does not diminish immediately after the fire is contained. It can take decades for the burned area to recover and the soil to stabilize. When fire teams map and monitor the changes over time using GIS, they can develop and modify recovery plans and manage these efforts long term.
