This study was carried out based on the wildfire vulnerability assessment framework conceptualised by Olivera et al., and her team to map wildfire vulnerability in Mediterranean Europe (4). This work is a part of final project for the class of HSCI-890: Strategic Application of GIS in Public Health at Faculty of Health Sciences, Simon Fraser University. We acknowledge Dr. Meghan Winters and Michael Branion-Calles for their continuous support and guidance through out this project. We would also like to thank Jordan Brubacher for consulting with us.
