Introducing the Wildfire Technology Commons

Revolutionizing Wildfire Management and Mitigation

We believe that avoiding devastating wildfires requires urgent, innovative, and collaborative solutions. The Wildfire Technology Commons is a bold new initiative designed to accelerate technological innovations for wildfire management and mitigation. We are building a community platform around open data, cutting-edge science, AI, and shared knowledge.

Our Mission and Vision

Our mission is to bring people together to break down the barriers that currently exist between wildfire-related data, models, and tools. Today these resources are siloed, which slows down innovation. We have the opportunity to create a seamless, smart platform to enable solutions that revolutionize how we understand, respond to, and prevent wildfires.

Our Approach

At the heart of the Wildfire Technology Commons is a collaborative community of practice. By bringing together experts from diverse sectors and fields, we are fostering a unified vision to tackle wildland fire challenges head-on. Our areas of expertise include:

      • Data Science, Computing, and AI

      • Fire, Smoke and Ecosystem Modeling, Atmospheric Science, and Hydrology 

      • Emergency Management and Community Planning

Be Part of the Solution

We invite you to join us in this critical effort. Whether you are a researcher, practitioner, policymaker, or start-up, your involvement can make a difference. Stay tuned for more information coming soon on opportunities to:

      • Join the network 

      • Participate in community events

      • Contribute to the data and model catalog

      • Highlight your work through case studies and pathfinder projects

Together, we can protect lives, property, and ecosystems from the ever-growing threat of wildfires.
