XyloPlan is an advanced wildfire analytics and visualization platform designed to transform how communities, fire agencies and the insurance industry understand and mitigate the threat of wind-driven wildfires. While traditional wildfire modeling often relies on static hazard maps or general intensity scores, XyloPlan focuses on the dynamic physics of fire spread, specifically targeting the transition from wildlands into the built environment and the consequences of the ensuing urban fire.
