1. Vulnerable areas identification, anticipate wildfire risks, and optimize forest management.
Updating fuel maps using LiDAR technology enables precise mapping of forest vegetation and identification of high-risk areas. These data are used to refine fuel maps and monitor forest changes in real time.
Simulations with BURN P3
Objectives: Predict fire dynamics, test management strategies, and assess the impact of prevention measures.
Wildfire spread simulations using the BURN-P3 software allow the anticipation of fire scenarios and the testing of different management strategies. This model provides accurate risk assessments based on environmental and climatic parameters.
Applications:
- Identify priority areas for preventive actions (fuel breaks, clearing).
- Support firefighters and forest managers in organizing more effective responses during wildfires.
3. Parametric Insurance for Wildfires
Objectives: Provide forest owners with simple and responsive insurance solutions by using satellite data to estimate damages, avoiding the need for on-site inspections.
We are developing simplified insurance solutions known as “parametric insurance.”
Unlike traditional insurance, parametric insurance relies on satellite data to automatically measure the area of forest burned. Once a predefined threshold is reached, compensation is triggered without the need for on-site assessment.
Applications:
- Provide faster and automated compensation for forest owners.
- Simplify claims management for insurers through a more streamlined and cost-effective system
4. ForSYS : Integrated Management System
Objectives: Centralize data to enable optimized and coordinated wildfire risk management.
The ForSYS system provides an integrated platform for forest management and wildfire prevention. It combines geospatial, climatic, and forest data to support informed decision-making and rapid response in times of crisis.
Applications:
- Help managers prioritize actions based on identified risks.
- Improve coordination among all relevant stakeholders (foresters, firefighters, local authorities).
