California faces increasing wildfire threats every year — but most tools focus on individual fires, not the bigger picture of community risk. WildRisk brings together real-time wildfire data, drought conditions, and local demographics into an interactive map that helps residents, researchers, and policymakers visualize which counties are most at risk.

By overlaying live fire perimeters with population, area, drought severity, and historical wildfire frequency, WildRisk provides an intuitive, data-driven overview of wildfire vulnerability across California. Users can click any county to see a dynamic dashboard with charts showing population exposure, recent fire counts, and risk levels — all powered by Leaflet, Chart.js, and open-source GeoJSON data.

Our goal is to make wildfire risk understandable at a glance — empowering communities to prepare smarter, allocate resources better, and track how drought and fire seasons evolve over time. WildRisk turns raw geospatial data into actionable insights — because knowing where the danger lies is the first step toward resilience.
