How it works

Smarter tools for wildfire management at every stage.

Forerunner's geospatial dashboard helps you assess risks to individual properties and neighborhoods, identify defensible spaces, and organize both immediate responses and long-term recovery efforts. Stay ahead of wildfire threats with tools built to protect your community at every stage — before, during, and after an event.

Map and assess wildfire risks

Use geospatial tools to identify high-risk areas 
and prioritize vulnerable properties.

Reduce hazards

Implement and track initiatives like defensible space and home hardening inspections.

Coordinate response

Coordinate mitigation and recovery efforts with a centralized platform for greater efficiency.

Recover better

Analyze wildfire impacts and improve future mitigation and response.

Features

Tools to streamline wildfire management and safeguard your community.

From defensible space tracking to post-fire recovery workflows, Forerunner equips hazard managers with practical tools to reduce risks, improve compliance, and support recovery efforts.

Identify high-risk areas with ease.

Access detailed, property-specific wildfire risk maps by integrating wildland-urban inferface (WUI) areas, containment lines, fire-prone zones, vegetation density maps, and more into a single platform. Use this data to guide mitigation efforts.

Track compliance while in the field.

Monitor properties for compliance with defensible space regulations, perform fire risk assessments, and evaluate home hardening measures. Automate reminders and documentation to simplify enforcement.

Tailor mitigation strategies with property insights.

Generate individual property risk profiles that highlight vulnerabilities and provide actionable recommendations for mitigation, such as vegetation management or defensible space improvements.

Coordinate wildfire recovery efforts.

Centralize damage assessments, filter properties by damage level, and track restoration projects to ensure your community rebounds efficiently after a wildfire.

Educate residents on wildfire preparedness.

Deliver property-specific notifications, wildfire risk updates, and preparedness guides to residents through our public-facing portal.
