The San Diego Fire Wiki ( http://sdfires.pbwiki.com/ ) This is a collaborative Wiki to organize Information on the San Diego 2007 Wildfires. You can contribute your own information to this on-line information portal or get the most updated information regarding the wildfires.
Evacuation Map Updates and GIS Maps. (the evacuation maps are updated ASAP once we get the maps from county Emergency Operations Centers (EOC). This web page includes major government websites (county and city) and GIS maps related to evacuation, traffic updates, power outages and related information. All evacuation orders have been lifted at 11:00am on Oct. 31, 2007 in San Diego County. Click Here to see the last fire perimeters update and evacuation map provided by the County's EOC.
Damaged Areas Mapping. This page focuses on the damaged areas and buildings in San Diego. We will include geocoded addresses for the locations of damaged houses and other related information in this page.
3D Visualization and Animation Maps. Display of 3D terrain and temporal changes of the wildfires. We will also compare the differences between the 2003 Cedar fire and the 2007 wildfires.
Satellite Images Overlay and Remote Sensing. This page collects all relevant satellite images and overlay them with GIS layers (streets, highways, rivers). We also compiled a satellite images resource list for all related remote sensing data.
Other On-line Mapping Resources This page will show a collective list of other on-line mapping resources related to the 2007 fires.
How GIS (Geographic Information Systems) can help us fight wildfires? One of the major differences between the 2003 and 2007 wildfire responses in San Diego is the great GIS team collaboration in the County's EOC in 2007. The San Diego EOC GIS team did an extraordinary job this time and provided very critical and valuable mapping information promptly to the public and related government agencies.

We apologize for the slow server performance in the first two days of the wildfires (Oct. 21 & 22) due to overloaded requests from Web users. Tuesday we were given access to major Intel computers at Calit2 at UCSD and special connectivity between SDSU and UCSD (OptIPuter) from which this page is now being served (special thanks to John Graham, Eric Frost, Larry Smarr, John DeNune, and Cristiano). It is super fast now. We will continue to update the wildfire maps and create some GIS maps / Recovery maps, as well as new imagery from NASA and other groups assisting in this massive effort. We also re-organized our website on Oct. 25 to provide a better layout of information for our community.

SDSU Geography Department was collaborating with San Diego Fire Recovery Network (SDFRN) in 2003 to establish a GIS data center for San Diego Wildfire Recovery and Management. The GIS data center includes downloadable data (shapefiles and coverages and metadata) for San Diego 2003 Wildfires.
