Wildfires are increasing in intensity and frequency due to climate change, land-use change, and forest degradation. Effective mitigation and emergency preparedness require data-driven approaches, integrating AI/ML, geospatial analytics, remote sensing, IoT sensors, early-warning systems, and scenario planning. This domain equips learners to design and deploy wildfire risk models, early-warning alerts, emergency response strategies, and post-fire recovery planning. Students gain hands-on skills in hazard mapping, vulnerability assessment, predictive modeling, and climate-resilient emergency management.
