Managing the Occurrence and Spread of Fire to Transmission Work Sites
Track: ArcGIS for Web Developers
Authors: Andrew Sanchez

Southern California Edison is concerned with wildfires and the danger they pose to their equipment and employees, but does not have a tool to help them manage the risk. This project aims to develop a web application that will allow the user to quickly identify the areas that might be influenced by a fire instance retrieve information about the danger zone, and model the fire spread. With this tool, the emergency response teams can more accurately decide what areas are most in need of assistance.
