COMMUNITY WARNING

Evacuation for remote communities.

Early warning that beats local broadcast. Designed for boreal catchments and WUI communities where the road out is not guaranteed.

The posture ladder

  1. Watch: DC > 55 or FWI > 45. Verify household contact tree.
  2. Plan: DC > 70 or FWI > 60. Pack go-bags, top up fuel, brief vulnerable households.
  3. Prepare: DC > 85 or FWI > 75. Voluntary evacuation for medical-priority, staging complete.
  4. Go: Any confirmed ignition within prevailing-wind footprint OR single-access road at risk of closure.

What ArchipelAI gives you

The Forest Health workspace tags community-linked catchments and surfaces the four thresholds above with 20-year context. Try it in the forestry demo. Pair with the homeowner-side wildfire preparedness playbook.

Common questions

What makes a community 'community-linked' in the model?
A catchment tagged as community-linked has evacuation-relevant advisories — smoke thresholds, access-road closure risk, prevailing-wind spread — surfaced ahead of local broadcast. It's an operational tag, not just a label.
What is the earliest reliable warning signal?
For most boreal and WUI communities: drought code trending above 70 combined with a 10-day heat-day streak. That combination is roughly a week of lead time on a red-flag posture.
What if the community has one access road?
Single-access catchments need earlier triggers. We recommend a 48-hour earlier evacuation-planning threshold and a formal shelter-in-place fallback with air-filtration provisioning.
How does smoke factor in?
PM2.5 above 150 µg/m³ triggers vulnerable-population advisory; sustained levels above 250 warrant evacuation for medical-priority households regardless of the fire itself.
