Coast Fire Calculator is a web-based tool designed to estimate how coastal wildfires may spread under varying wind, terrain, and fuel conditions. It provides quick, actionable insights for planners, researchers, and emergency managers who need to gauge risk and visualize scenarios without complex modeling.
Key features include:
- Coastal fire spread modeling: Enables rapid estimation of potential fire propagation along shorelines by adjusting wind, slope, fuel loads, moisture, and coastal features to reflect real-world conditions.
- Interactive scenario builder: Create, compare, and export multiple scenarios in one view to evaluate how changes in weather or terrain affect risk and decision making.
- Clear visuals and summaries: Generates shareable maps, charts, and concise briefs that communicate coastal fire risk to stakeholders without requiring specialized training.
- Freemium access: Provides a no-cost entry point with premium options for advanced modeling, allowing broad usage while supporting ongoing development.
Coast Fire Calculator helps planners and responders translate complex coastal fire dynamics into understandable, actionable insights, enabling proactive risk management and better preparation for emergencies.
