Beacon Box – Supporting public safety personnel with protecting homes under threat from wildfires
Description: We empower communities and partners to limit the impact of wildfires by taking action. Our mission is to reduce catastrophic wildfire outcomes for communities and partners by providing the data, tools, and know-how needed to make informed mitigation choices.
We collaborate with local governments, communities, and the insurers to provide custom solutions.
We use machine learning (ML) to predict the relative loss and survivability probabilities for individual structures from a wildland fire event.
Comprised of a set of factors, our models can be used for the tactical placement of protective assets during a fire event, as an evaluation method for regional mitigation efforts, or as an assessment of structural risk.
