Abstract

This project endeavors to pioneer a novel approach to wildfire risk mapping and introduce a probabilistic optimization model for resource allocation, integrating risk maps and various situational conditions. We will initiate our work by conducting comprehensive literature reviews, followed by critical analysis of specific criteria. Based on these insights, we’ll integrate climate, topography, and land cover data to generate risk maps via Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA). Utilizing multi-criteria decision-making strategies, we’ll optimize the distribution of first responder resources, including fire brigade, artificial pools, and aerial vehicles, through the cluster coverage method.
