| # FireEye Platform |
|
|
| FireEye is a public-facing geospatial platform for exploring wildfire risk, |
| active-fire information, forecasts, and related spatial data across the United |
| States. |
|
|
| ## Current Platform |
|
|
| The platform combines: |
|
|
| - a SvelteKit and MapLibre web map; |
| - PostgreSQL/PostGIS for spatial data and area queries; |
| - Martin for raster and vector tiles; |
| - Nginx for the public HTTPS entry point; and |
| - scheduled data pipelines for source data, model outputs, and downloadable |
| products. |
|
|
| ## FireWx-FM |
|
|
| FireWx-FM predicts 12-hour active-fire occupancy probability on a 5 km |
| EPSG:5070 Lower-48 grid. Its standard input is a 16-channel tensor containing |
| NOAA HRRR weather fields, validity masks, LANDFIRE fuel and canopy layers, |
| housing density, and population. NASA FIRMS detections define the occupancy |
| target. |
|
|
| The model probability map is converted into a web-serving layer and can also be |
| stored as a queryable spatial product. It is a research and decision-support |
| product and should not be treated as an emergency-response alert without local |
| validation and expert review. |
|
|
| ## Multi-Hazard Extension |
|
|
| The next practical extension is to evaluate flood or drainage-model outputs as |
| separate, documented layers. A pilot should specify: |
|
|
| 1. variables, units, spatial resolution, projection, and forecast horizon; |
| 2. conversion to a raster or vector product with time metadata; |
| 3. spatial and temporal alignment with the platform; |
| 4. a map layer, legend, and area-summary interface; and |
| 5. numerical checks against the source model output. |
|
|
| Wildfire and flood outputs should remain separate until their meanings, |
| calibration, and update schedules have been validated. A combined risk score |
| should only be defined after that check. |
