Wildfire Susceptibility

2 min read · Last updated Jun 30, 2026

Wildfire susceptibility analysis maps where the selected region is more likely to support wildfire risk under the supported input data. GeoRetina AI can return susceptibility classes, area summaries, and, when requested, exposure summaries for buildings or other assets.

Wildfire susceptibility analysis with map and class chart

When to Use It

  • Screen communities, parcels, or project areas for wildfire susceptibility.
  • Compare low, moderate, high, and very high susceptibility classes.
  • Prioritize field inspection or mitigation planning.
  • Connect susceptibility zones to buildings, parcels, or other vector assets.

Use Super for exposure synthesis

Simple susceptibility maps can be requested directly. Use Super mode when you want building or asset exposure summaries, cross-layer interpretation, or a report-ready narrative.

How to Ask

Current susceptibility

Map current wildfire susceptibility for @wildfire_audit.

Community screen

Estimate wildfire susceptibility around @community_boundary using the latest supported data.

Exposure summary

In Super mode, summarize buildings exposed to high and very high wildfire susceptibility inside @study_area.

Report

Create a wildfire susceptibility report for @project_area with charts and planning caveats.

Outputs

Wildfire runs can produce a susceptibility map, class distribution charts, exposed-feature summaries, and reusable assets for follow-up questions.

Reading the Result

Use the map to locate the susceptibility zones and the charts to understand how much area or how many assets fall into each class. Treat high and very high classes as prioritization signals for closer review, not as standalone engineering or emergency-management conclusions.

Useful Follow-ups

  • "Show only buildings in the high and very high susceptibility classes."
  • "Summarize the dominant land-cover context around the highest-risk areas."
  • "Create a mitigation planning summary from this wildfire result."
  • "Export the exposed building layer."
