Abstract
Wildfires pose significant threats to human life, ecological balance, and the economy. The unpredictable and highly dynamic nature of wildfires emphasizes the need for analyzing wildfire management using non-linear methods. This study explores the causal relationships among the physical nature of fires, resource management, and the costs associated with prevention and suppression under various wildfire management policies via system dynamics approach. Our study extends previous works by incorporating remote sensing technologies in the prevention stages of wildfires. The utilization of such technologies play a significant role in preventing the escalation of potential fires and ensuring the effective use of operational resources. Additionally, calculating the probabilities of errors through Failure Mode and Effect Analysis for potential errors in wildfire management further enrich the system dynamics model. The insights from the model will be provided for policy makers.
