How Kauaʻi Is Using GIS to Prepare for Wildfires

The Lahaina fires sparked a bold response in Kauaʻi. Planners are now integrating wildfire mitigation into zoning and building codes—using Esri’s ArcGIS XR Viewer and immersive tools like augmented reality. This work led to Bill 2961, Hawai‘i’s first ordinance to incorporate Wildfire and the wildland urban interface (WUI) safety standards directly into land use regulation. Watch how Kauaʻi is leveraging geospatial technology to visualize risk, engage stakeholders, and build community resilience.
