You draw the boundary; we grid it into ~100 m zones, score every zone on hazard, structure fabric and community egress, and surface the worst zones as named hotspots with a prioritized, costed mitigation action plan. It is decision support for the people who prepare a community before fire season — not a hazard determination or evacuation plan.\n\nZone risk heat-map — **outlined cells** are hotspot clusters\n\n## The community is the unit — _not the parcel_\n\nThe property report answers “how exposed is this home?”. The neighborhood report answers a different question: “where are the community-scale wildfire hotspots, who is exposed, and which mitigation actions come first?” It runs on the same trusted data engine, at community scale.\n\n01\n\n### Zone-based hotspot map\n\nThe boundary is gridded into ~100 m zones. Every zone is scored, and adjacent high-risk zones are clustered into named hotspots (HZ-01, HZ-02…) — the map every stakeholder screenshots.\n\n02\n\n### Two community-only signals\n\nStructure fabric (how tightly buildings are packed — the conflagration proxy) and community egress (road exits vs. structures) are risks that exist only at community scale. Both are computed from footprints and OpenStreetMap.\n\n03\n\n### A prioritized action plan\n\nThe product isn’t the map — it’s the ranked, costed, owner-assigned action table: what to do, where, who owns it, and the funding hook to pay for it.\n\n## From a boundary to an _action plan_\n\nDraw or paste a community boundary and the report builds itself, end to end — no per-home survey required.\n\nStep 01\n\n### Draw the boundary\n\nA village, neighborhood, parish, HOA or drawn polygon — plus the community name.\n\nStep 02\n\n### Grid into zones\n\nThe area is split into ~100 m zones, each scored on hazard, exposure and vulnerability.\n\nStep 03\n\n### Add fabric & egress\n\nBuilding footprints and the road network add the two community-only risk dimensions.\n\nStep 04\n\n### Cluster hotspots\n\nThe worst zones are grouped by adjacency into named hotspot clusters.\n\nStep 05\n\n### Prioritize actions\n\nEach hotspot becomes a ranked, costed action with an owner and a funding hook.\n\n## The result: a _hotspot map_ and a costed plan\n\nOne area score, a ranked list of hotspot zones with their dominant risk driver, and a prioritized action plan mapped to regional funding programs.\n\n#### Hotspot zones\n\nHZ-01 mean 71 · Structure fabric · 12 cells\n\nHZ-02 mean 66 · Community egress · 7 cells\n\nHZ-03 mean 63 · Vegetation · 4 cells\n\n#### Prioritized action plan\n\nZone\n\nAction\n\nCost\n\nOwner\n\nHZ-01\n\nHome hardening + defensible-space spacing where structures are tightly clustered\n\n$$\n\nProperty owners\n\nHZ-01\n\nFuel reduction: thin continuous vegetation and create shaded fuel breaks\n\n$$\n\nCommunity / landowners\n\nHZ-02\n\nImprove secondary access / clear dead-end evacuation spurs\n\n$$$\n\nMunicipality / roads authority\n\nHZ-02\n\nPrioritized fuel treatment in the highest wildfire-hazard zones\n\n$$$\n\nFire district / municipality\n\nRegion-aware by design. In **California** the report frames the plan against Firewise USA, the FRRCL pathway and CWDG funding; in **Portugal** it scores against the DL 82/2021 fuel-management bands, Aldeia Segura and the Condomínio de Aldeia funding hook — never mixing the two.\n\n## Prepare your _whole community_\n\nBring a village, neighborhood or parish boundary and get a zone-based hotspot map with a prioritized, costed mitigation action plan — ready before fire season.\n\n[Start a neighborhood report →](https://app.satelife.ai/reports)\n\n[![PRR](/images/prr.png)](/ficha-de-website-voucher-satelife.pdf)\n\n© 2024–2026 Satelife, Lda.
