Trigger Point - Bintel's Evacuation Planning
Evacuation Planning – Trigger Point Modeling
Bintel’s Trigger Point modeling calculates how long it will take a fire to reach a value-at-risk, hence the trigger for a resident to evacuate safely. Traditional fire behavior techniques model fire moving away from a pre-determined point of ignition, while Bintel’s modeling starts away from an evacuation route and calculates how long the fire will take to reach the road from any potential ignition point on the landscape. This produces a map of the time that responders have to save lives and property.

Denali Borough CWPP - Redefining Wildland
Notes from the Denali Borough Project Kickoff
The Bintel Team was excited to win the contract to update two CWPPs and write two more covering the Denali Borough in Alaska. The three day kickoff trip was a great series of meetings, tours and public engagement that was expertly orchestrated by the Borough team and partners. The landscape is as rugged as one can imagine and the people are warm and friendly. That said, this is not WUI as we know it. This is just Wild, no UI. For now I offer up some pics and commentary from my first visit, but watch for more on the unique attributes of this CWPP project later this year.
