Predictive and Prescriptive AI toward Optimizing Wildfire Suppression

ArXi:2605.04510v1 Announce Type: cross Intense wildfire seasons require critical prioritization decisions to allocate scarce suppression resources over a dispersed geographical area. This paper develops a predictive and prescriptive approach to jointly optimize crew assignments and wildfire suppression. The problem features a discrete resource-allocation structure with endogenous wildfire demand and non-linear wildfire dynamics.
