GIS, short for Geographic Information Systems, is an incredible tool that helps us understand and visualize data in ground-breaking new ways by revealing relationships, patterns, and trends to expand our knowledge of landscapes and producing and analyzing potential solutions to the challenges we face.
Businesses can use GIS to identify markets and distribution networks. Governments can effectively plan for disasters, identifying evacuation routes. Planners can evaluate potential development in relationship to vegetation, steep slopes, and flooding problems. Scientists can look at the relationship of various land uses and critical habitats. Communities can evaluate various growth scenarios and its impacts on schools, traffic, recreational resources, and the environment. Agricultural producers can change a planting rotation based on evolving weather data.
The applications are limitless!

The Hawaii Wildfire webapp visualizes wildfire data across Hawaii. It has four types of data: fire history, community hazard assessments, community input information, and census data.
This is an update to the wildfire incident map published in 2014. HWMO compiled fire event records from federal, state, and local fire agencies from across the board, and then staff spent countless hours putting together these records (1999-2022), checked data, and geo-located each fire.
In line with its mission to protect communities and natural resources from wildfire through planning, mitigation, and education, HWMO has conducted hazard assessments for every community in the state. These assessments, coupled with the overall Communities At Risk From Wildfire Map update, will enable a more thorough understanding of wildfire hazards that can be addressed by communities, decision makers, fire responders, and natural resource managers.
Wildfire Hazard Assessments were conducted by HWMO and its partners to rate 36 different hazard criteria for the County of Kauai.
Wildfire Hazard Assessments were conducted by HWMO and its partners to rate 36 different hazard criteria for the island of Molokai.
Wildfire Hazard Assessments were conducted by HWMO and its partners to rate 36 different hazard criteria for the weset area of the island of Maui.
Wildfire Hazard Assessments were conducted by HWMO and its partners to rate 36 different hazard criteria for the east area of the island of Maui.
Wildfire Hazard Assessments were conducted by HWMO and its partners to rate 36 different hazard criteria for the central area of the island of Maui.

Wildfire Hazard Assessments were conducted by HWMO and its partners to rate 36 different hazard criteria for the east side of Hawaii Island.
With the help of US Forest Service funding and collaboration with the University of Hawaii, HWMO labored to collect fire event records from federal, state, and local fire agencies from across the board. In the spring of 2013, the HWMO staff spent countless hours putting together a massive spreadsheet with the records that they data checked and geo-located fire by fire.
The Hawaii State Wildfire History HWMO spearheaded comes to life in this interactive map, made possible by our friends at UH Manoa, College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (CTAHR). Click around the map to locate wildfires that have occurred from 2002-2011 across the entire state and track down their sizes (acreage burned).
