Configure Wildfire Protection Planning

In this topic, you'll learn how to configure the Wildfire Protection Planning solution to meet specific needs of your organization.

Install deep learning libraries

The Wildfire Protection Planning ArcGIS Pro project uses two deep learning geoprocessing tools in the Analyze Defensible Space task group. All deep learning geoprocessing tools in ArcGIS Pro require that the supported deep learning frameworks libraries be installed.

To install deep learning libraries, follow the steps provided at the Esri/deep-learning-frameworks GitHub page.

Note:

The download and installation of deep learning libraries can take thirty minutes or longer depending on your internet connectivity and computer specifications.

Discover and purchase imagery

Note:

This workflow is optional and does not need to be completed to work with the solution.

Imagery is required for the Wildfire Protection Planning ArcGIS Pro project used in the Analyze Defensible Space task group. Organizations that have recent imagery available for the workflow can use their data; however, if your organization does not have up-to-date imagery, you have the option to purchase existing imagery or request new imagery (tasking) from Content Store for ArcGIS.

To discover and purchase imagery from the Content Store for ArcGIS, follow the steps provided at the Content Store for ArcGIS help page.

Note:

The Content Store for ArcGIS an Esri native web app that allows you to use ArcGIS Online to simplify the process of purchasing and integrating commercial satellite imagery.

Add layers

Note:

This workflow is optional and does not need to be completed to work with the solution.

The web map in the Wildfire Mitigation Planner app can be updated with your own layers, which allows firefighters to see those layers in the Wildfire Mitigation Planner app. Any additional layers can help inform mitigation planning priorities or help create maps to be used in Community Wildfire Protection Plans or Hazard Mitigation Plans.

To add layers to the Wildfire Mitigation Planner web map, complete the following steps:

1. Verify that you are signed in to your ArcGIS organization and browse to the Wildfire Mitigation Planner map.
2. Verify that your layers are published and accessible to your ArcGIS organization.
3. From the item page, click Open in Map Viewer.
4. On the Contents (dark) toolbar, click Layers if the Layers pane is not open.
5. In the Layers pane, click the Add button.
6. Browse to the location of the layer that you would like to add, click the Add button.
7. In the Layers pane, click the Options button next to the layer that you added, and then click the Move button.

   Adding a layer to a group layer allows for better visualization and understanding in the Wildfire Mitigation Planner app. The web map has group layers established for Location and Community Authority, Population, Land Use and Ownership, Topography and Vegetation, Historical Wildfires, and Wildfire Risk and Wildland-Urban Interface.

8. Choose the group layer that best describes the layer that you have added, and then click OK.

   The layer will be added to the group layer you chose.

9. Repeat these steps until all layers are added and grouped, and then click the Back button.
10. On the Contents (dark) toolbar, click Save and open , and then click Save to save the changes to the map.

The Wildfire Mitigation Planner web map has been updated and the layers are available in the Wildfire Mitigation Planner app.
