Hyperspectral imagery provides valuable insights for wildfire risk assessment, response, and recovery. Pre-fire imagery can be used to evaluate fuel potential by analyzing above-ground biomass, vegetation species, and plant/tree coverage across a geographic area. Spectrally derived indicators such as moisture and drought indices, along with vegetation health metrics, help refine fire risk estimates. Imagery collected during or after a fire enables accurate mapping of burned areas and identification of surviving vegetation. Continued monitoring through recurring imagery supports ecosystem recovery planning and assessment over time.
