bushyr

The tools for monitoring, tracking and predicting bushfire risk across Victoria

Plan

• Develop web app (based on VICfire app) to provide risk predictions for geographc regions across Victoria. Users can enter weather conditions, additional variables, and obtain estimation of risk, and associated uncertainty.
  • Clean up and understand code of current VICfires app
  • Develop the simulation routines to predict fire risk for grid cells across the state
  • Add data entry options to allow user to enter values for selected variables
  • Provide elegant reporting of risk and uncertainty, including tables and plots
• Inspire other open data and open access tools to alleviate bushfire damage in Australia, especially the ecosystem and wildlife

Reading materials

• grant proposal
• Patrick's Honours thesis, containing data collection and combination for modeling bushfire cause
• VICfire code, and current functionality
