Wildfire burn-severity mapping

A georeferenced orthomosaic and observation layer may support qualified fire and GIS teams after an incident. Thematic classification or public-safety conclusions require a stated method, suitable source data, ground validation, and qualified review.

LAYERS

In this representative scenario, qualified fire or GIS personnel could use a current georeferenced orthomosaic and observation layer as one source of post-incident context. Mobilization and delivery would depend on incident command, airspace, safety, weather, access, source data, and the quoted method.

The imagery and observations would not themselves establish burn severity, debris-flow risk, damage, or another public-safety conclusion. Any thematic classification requires a stated classification method, suitable source data, ground validation, and qualified review before use.

Scope & deliverables.

Capture

Rapid tasking · single capture window over the burn scar · field-processed on site

Deliverables

Georeferenced orthomosaic · observation layer · source and method notes · prior-imagery context when suitable

Turnaround

Typically inside 24 hours from tasking to delivered layers

Review boundary

No thematic severity class or public-safety conclusion without a stated method, ground validation, and qualified review

How accuracy was held.

Produced to ASPRS. Produced to the ASPRS workflow under rapid-response conditions with PPK positioning; resolution stated on delivery. Where post-event engineering follows, checkpoint-tested surfaces are flown as a second phase. ASPRS terminology describes the georeferenced product's positional workflow only; it does not validate a thematic severity classification or public-safety conclusion.

Delivery commitments.

Standard-scope deliverables are typically available in the portal within 24 hours of flight; larger, survey-tested, or multisensor scopes receive quoted timeline.
Free reprocessing, revision, and re-delivery for the life of the project, within original scope.
Data is processed in the field and checked for completeness before demobilization (coverage, overlap, control residuals); final validation follows the stated delivery method.
