Reflecting the seriousness of wildfire risk to communities around the world, substantial resources are devoted to assessing wildfire hazards and risks. Wildfire hazard and risk assessments are conducted at a wide range of scales, from localized to nationwide, and are often intended to communicate and support decision making about risks, including the prioritization of scarce resources. Improvements in the underlying science of wildfire hazard and risk assessment and in the development, communication, and application of these assessments support effective decisions made on all aspects of societal adaptations to wildfire, including decisions about the prevention, mitigation, and suppression of wildfire risks. To support such efforts, this Special Issue of the journal Fire compiles articles on the understanding, modeling, and addressing of wildfire risks to homes, water resources, firefighters, and landscapes.Research & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscForestry & related industriesbicsscwildfire riskobject-oriented image analysisSentinel-2fire behaviorflammapwildfire managementwater supplyerosionwildfire containmentPotential fire Operational DelineationsMonte Carlo simulationtransmission riskWUIfiredefensible spaceprescribed firecommunity vulnerabilityfire suppression costsZillowwildfirepredictive modelingfire spread modelMonte Carlospatial modelingarea difference indexstatisticsprecisionrecallprincipal components analysisrisk assessmentstructure losswildland–urban interfacemitigationmappingland usedisasterfire spread modelssurrogate modelingsensitivity analysisglobal sensitivity analysiscolour codingcommunicationforest fireordinal categorizationpaletteriskfirefighter safetysafe separation distancesafety zonesLCESGoogle Earth EnginelidarLANDFIRELandsatGEDIparcel-level riskpost-fire analysisrisk mitigationrapid assessmentnatural hazardsfuelsfire hazardremote sensingLiDARSentinelmodelingsimulationResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesForestry & related industriesMeldrum James Redt1309569Meldrum James RothBOOK9910566472703321Wildfire Hazard and Risk Assessment3029400UNINA
