The text discusses the development of a Wildfire Risk Index (WRI) using spatial data and weather forecasts to estimate the potential risk of wildfire ignition in different regions. The WRI is based on a combination of geographical, meteorological, and land cover variables, including standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI), soil moisture, and land cover type. The analysis shows that wildfires tend to occur during summer and fall months when drought conditions and extreme winds become more frequent and vegetation becomes dry. The WRI can be used by government agencies, insurance companies, real estate/investment companies, and power utilities to develop wildfire suppression plans, provide affordable coverage, prioritize investments in treating wildland fuels, and design contingency plans for energy supply during disaster recovery. The analysis also highlights the importance of considering human activities such as campfires or smoking as potential causes of wildfires. The WRI can be used to improve home insurance by adjusting coverage costs based on risk level and providing targeted marketing campaigns to high-risk areas. Future work includes exploring other meteorological variables, using wildfire data with better temporal resolution, and combining the temporal information to construct the index.
