Housing and Fire Hazard Web Maps and Policy Reports

Assessment of fire hazard in newly zoned housing areas for policy guidance in Marin and Santa Barbara counties.

As part of a research internship with the Stanford Bill Lane Center for the American West, I investigated the potential fire hazard associated with new zoning for housing development. I collaborated with decision makers in Marin County, CA and Santa Barbara County, CA

I used ESRI online to create interactive web maps for both areas. This work involved regular meetings with decision makers and rounds of iteration to create final products.
