# Community-scale _wildfire risk_

A Satelife report for a whole community — a village, neighborhood, parish, HOA or municipality. 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.

Zone risk heat-map — **outlined cells** are hotspot clusters

## The community is the unit — _not the parcel_

The 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.

01

### Zone-based hotspot map

The 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.

02

### Two community-only signals

Structure 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.

03

### A prioritized action plan

The 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.

## From a boundary to an _action plan_

Draw or paste a community boundary and the report builds itself, end to end — no per-home survey required.

Step 01

### Draw the boundary

A village, neighborhood, parish, HOA or drawn polygon — plus the community name.

Step 02

### Grid into zones

The area is split into ~100 m zones, each scored on hazard, exposure and vulnerability.

Step 03

### Add fabric & egress

Building footprints and the road network add the two community-only risk dimensions.

Step 04

### Cluster hotspots

The worst zones are grouped by adjacency into named hotspot clusters.

Step 05

### Prioritize actions

Each hotspot becomes a ranked, costed action with an owner and a funding hook.

## The result: a _hotspot map_ and a costed plan

One area score, a ranked list of hotspot zones with their dominant risk driver, and a prioritized action plan mapped to regional funding programs.

#### Hotspot zones

HZ-01 mean 71 · Structure fabric · 12 cells

HZ-02 mean 66 · Community egress · 7 cells

HZ-03 mean 63 · Vegetation · 4 cells

Region-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.

## Prepare your _whole community_

Bring a village, neighborhood or parish boundary and get a zone-based hotspot map with a prioritized, costed mitigation action plan — ready before fire season.
