Vegetation-to-vegetation Fire Pathways™ are the fastest routes that wildfire takes through vegetative fuels during a wind-driven event. These Fire Pathways can be disrupted by vegetation treatments, which slow the fire, increasing arrival time of fire to values-at-risk.
Vegetation-to-structure Fire Pathways™ are the transition points from vegetative fuels to the built environment. This transition can be disrupted with a combination of defensible space, home hardening, and an effective fire fighting response.
Structure-to-structure Fire Pathways™ are the paths that fire takes between high density structures in a suburban environment, where the structures themselves are the fuel carrying the fire. These Fire Pathways can be disrupted by an effective fire fighting response. When Structure Separation Distance is less than 50 feet, defensible space and home hardening measures cease to be effective due to higher and longer heat flux generated by an adjacent burning structure.
Provide data that enables insurers and reinsurers to underwrite policies with parcel-based and community-wide risk assessments in relation to Fire Pathways™, also evaluating concentration risk from correlated conflagration exposure
Enable local governments to visualize and prioritize vulnerabilities from Fire Pathways™, providing a mitigation common operating picture that helps direct resources to the highest-risk areas for maximum risk reduction
Enable wildfire mitigation teams with limited resources to assess and plan impactful vegetative fuel treatments and prioritize effective outreach, education, incentives, and enforcement of home hardening and defensible space measures
Allow developers and HOAs to understand the most effective mitigations to decrease the wildfire risk to the community, including building standard compliance, siting decisions, planting specifications, and vegetation management plans
Use Fire Pathways™ models to identify both community and parcel-specific risk assessments when underwriting property policies and building a profitable portfolio. These risk assessments are informed by current conditions, inclusive of mitigations the community has undertaken.
With XyloPlan, underwriters can use statewide data to inform the relative wildfire risk for communities, and parcels within those communities, enabling increased portfolio management efficiency.
Optimize limited fuel treatment resources to achieve the greatest results by prioritizing the most cost-effective treatments in those areas capable of supporting the fastest-moving wildfires.
With XyloPlan, Community Wildfire Resilience is simplified with science-based models and recommendations, allowing stakeholders to share a view of wildfire risk and prioritize mitigations that slow the arrival of wildfire to population centers and critical infrastructure.
Understand the most effective mitigations to decrease the threat of wildfire to your community and provide data to insurers to help them assess appropriate wildfire risk when writing policies for your development.
With XyloPlan, HOAs and developers can engineer their communities to mitigate wildfire risk and use data to influence adjacent public landowners to prioritize risk-reducing vegetation treatments.
Partner with local agencies to create resilient communities that can be within or adjacent to wildfire perimeters without sustaining catastrophic damage.
With XyloPlan, utility companies can demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of targeted vegetation treatments, along their own right-of-ways and adjacent to surrounding communities, in order to increase resilience through effective vegetation treatment plans and beneficial fire.
