Wildfire Vulnerability Assessment of Indian Built Infrastructure in India
Implementing Partner: Build Change
Project name: Vulnerability Assessment of Built Infrastructure in India to Wildfires using Computational Modelling and Stochastic Analysis Framework
This project examines the impact of wildfires on critical infrastructure in India, including power lines and bridges.
Through advanced computer simulations, it analyzes structural responses to fire and identifies design enhancements to boost resilience.
The study aims to enhance public safety, minimise risks to essential systems, and strengthen disaster preparedness in wildfire-prone regions, empowering communities with the tools and knowledge necessary for more secure infrastructure planning in an era of escalating environmental challenges.

Impact and Key Findings
1
The project will develop clear visual charts that assess infrastructure vulnerability to wildfires, equipping engineers and planners to refine designs and prioritize upgrades in India’s high-risk regions, ultimately enhancing safety and resilience where it’s needed most.
2
This project advances wildfire preparedness by modelling fire behaviour, structural stress, and material heat response, guiding city planners in creating safer designs and fortifying infrastructure resilience in regions vulnerable to fire hazards.
3
The project will direct strategic investments toward fireproofing vital infrastructure, such as transmission lines, to safeguard uninterrupted operations during and after wildfires, enhancing service reliability and resilience in high-risk regions.
