Wildfire Modeling¶

The wildfire model can be imported using the following command

Taylor et al. (2023)

from IPython.display import display, HTML
import plotly.graph_objects as go
import plotly.io as pio

pio.renderers.default = "plotly_mimetype"

/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniconda/base/envs/erad/lib/python3.12/site-packages/kaleido/__init__.py:14: UserWarning:



Warning: You have Plotly version 6.0.1, which is not compatible with this version of Kaleido (1.0.0).

This means that static image generation (e.g. `fig.write_image()`) will not work.

Please upgrade Plotly to version 6.1.1 or greater, or downgrade Kaleido to version 0.2.1.

from erad.models.hazard import FireModel, FireModelArea

An instance of FireModel is a list of affected areas with each FireModelArea mapping the following pareameters.

affected_area: The timestamp of the wild fire event
wind_direction: Direction of the wind
wind_speed: Average wind speed in the area

from datetime import datetime

from shapely.geometry import Polygon
from gdm.quantities import Angle

from erad.quantities import Speed

fire_affect_area = FireModelArea(
    affected_area=Polygon(
        [
            (-120, 36),
            (-121, 36),
            (-121, 37),
            (-121, 367),
        ]
    ),
    wind_speed=Speed(50, "miles/hour"),
    wind_direction=Angle(45, "deg"),
)
fire_model = FireModel(
    name="fire model",
    timestamp=datetime.now(),
    affected_areas=[fire_affect_area],
)
fire_model.pprint()

An example of the FireModel can be built using the example() methods for testing purposes.

fire_model = FireModel.example()
fire_model.pprint()

Building from historical events¶

Erad allows users to build fire models from historic wild fire events as well. The from_wildfire_name class method can be used to build fire models representing historic events.

fire_model = FireModel.from_wildfire_name("GREAT LAKES FIRE")
fire_model.pprint()

Plotting Wildfire Model¶



fig = go.Figure()
fire_model.plot(figure=fig)
fig.show()
