Abstract Purpose of Review The objectives of this paper are to briefly review basic risk
management and analytics concepts, describe their nexus in relation to wildfire response …

Wildfires are complex phenomena, both in time and space, in ecosystems. The ability to
understand wildfire dynamics and to predict the behaviour of the propagating fire is essential …

Numerical simulation of wildland fire spread is useful to predict the locations that are likely to
burn and to support decision in an operational context, notably for crisis situations and long …

Australia is a regular recipient of devastating bushfires that severely impacts its economy,
landscape, forests, and wild animals. These bushfires must be managed to save a fortune …

In contrast with current operational products of burned area, which are generally available
one month after the fire, active fires are readily available, with potential application for early …

We implemented a fine-scale fire modeling approach to assess wildfire exposure in the
highly valued resources and assets (HVRAs) of Ardabil Province (18,000 km 2) …

Fire agencies are moving towards planning systems based on risk assessment; however,
knowledge of the most effective way to quantify changes in risk to key values by application …

Numerical simulations of wildfire spread can provide support in deciding firefighting actions
but their predictive performance is challenged by the uncertainty of model inputs stemming …

The scope of wildfires over the previous decade has brought these natural hazards to the
forefront of risk management. Wildfires threaten human health, safety, and property, and …

Background Fire simulators are increasingly used to predict fire spread. Australian fire
agencies have been concerned at not having an objective basis to choose simulators for this …
