Question ID: 431927
I would like to know what resources (information, software, contacts)
are available to assess the threat of wildfire in the wildland/urban
interface to individual parcels in the Sierra foothills of California.
 The most comprehensive information I have found on the subject is
from New Zealand and is located at
http://nrfa.fire.org.nz/projects/wta/GIS/_docs/WTATechnicalDocumentation020416.pdf

The software used by the model described therin is GIS software from ESRI.  

1. I would like to know if other (open source or Google earth) GIS
software has been used to model Wildfire threats.

2. I would also like to know publicly available sources for GIS data sets.

3. A list of people who are active contributors to this technology would be nice.
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.
