Planscape

Introduction

Planscape is a new wildfire resilience planning tool, bringing the best available state and federal data and science together to help regional planners prioritize landscape treatments for mitigating fire risk, maximizing ecological benefits and helping California’s landscapes adapt to climate change.

Please see our wiki for more information.

Features

Some of the things you can do in Planscape (WIP):

• Visualize the Regional Resource Kit data layers
• Highlight areas with best management potential
• Generate project plans
• Share and combine plans with collaborators

Set Up

See the Development getting started guide for how to download, build, and test Planscape.

Built With

• PostGIS - database for storing user sessions and plans
• Django REST framework - backend framework
• black - code formatter
• Angular - frontend framework
• Leaflet - used to display maps and layers
• ForSys - greedy heuristic optimization software package for land management planning and prioritization
• PROMOTe - used to compute conditions from basic data, and find new optimal areas for treatment

Fun things

We have django-extensions installed, so there is a bunch of neat commands there.

Useful ones:

1. python manage.py show_urls
2. python manage.py shell_plus

Check the docs for more.

How to run black?

black is a uncompromising code formatter. For us to have a standardized repository, black is being used as the sole formatter.

During CI we will check if this passes black formatting. If it fails, it will stop the build.

This only affects GitHub actions - so we won't be able to merge if it fails.

You should run locally before your commits. You can do so by:

cd src/planscape
black .
