NETWORKS, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR WILDFIRE MITIGATION
There is provided networks, systems and displays for providing derived data and predictive information for use in emergencies; and in particular for use in wildfire emergencies. More particularly, there is provided systems, equipment and networks having a control system having an operation control command plan for performing an operation plan. in embodiments the operation plan can be a hydration plan, a lockout plan, a low line pressure plan, an adjacent structure based plan, an auto-activation notice with default activation plan. In an embodiment there is provided a parcel by parcel control and optimization of the EFMS for a particular area.
1 . A system for mitigating fire risks, the system comprising:
a. an external fire management system (EFMS);
b. a control system in control communication with the EFMS and a GUI device;
c. the control system comprising an operation control command plan for performing an operation plan; and,
d. an interlock, wherein the interlock is configured to perform an operation on one or more peripheral system associated with a structure protected by the EMFS.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the control system is cloud-based.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the control system is at least in part contained in a local controller for the EFMS.
4 . The system of claim 1 , comprising a hydration plan.
5 . The system of claim 1 , comprising two or more of a hydration plan, a lockout plan, a low line pressure plan, and an adjacent structure based plan.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the operation control command plan comprises a lockout.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the lockout comprises a software component.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the interlock is configured to automatically perform the operation on the peripheral system upon activation of the EFMS.
9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the control system is configured to determine a time period in which the interlock will automatically perform the operation on the prereferral system, wherein the time period is based upon an event.
10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the event is based upon one or more of a location of a wildfire, a wind speed, a hydration levels, a location of smoke, a location of embers, a direction of movement of a wildfire, and a temperature.
11 - 32 . (canceled)
33 . An external fire management system (EFMS) for mitigating a fire risk for a structure associated with the EFMS, the EFMS comprising:
a. a local controller;
b. the local controller configured for control communications with an emergency management control network and system;
c. the local controller configured for control communications with a control system;
d. the control system comprising an operation control command plan for performing an operation plan; and,
e. an interlock, wherein the interlock is configured to perform an operation on one or more peripheral system associated with a structure protected by the EMFS.
34 . The EFMS of claim 33 , wherein the control system is cloud-based.
35 . The EFMS of claim 33 , wherein the control system is at least in part contained in the local controller.
36 . The EFMS of claim 33 , comprising a hydration plan.
37 . The EFMS of claim 33 , comprising two or more of a hydration plan, a lockout plan, a low line pressure plan, and an adjacent structure based plan.
38 - 60 . (canceled)
61 . A method of operating an external fire management system (EFMS) located at a structure; wherein the EFMS is in control communication with a control system, the control system configured to receive information, send information, and evaluate information; the method comprising:
a. the control system receiving an event information;
b. the control system activating an interlock;
c. wherein the interlock performs an operation on a peripheral system associated with a structure protected by the EMFS; and,
d. activating the EFMS.
62 . The method of claim 61 , wherein steps a) and c) occur simultaneously.
63 . The method of claim 61 , wherein step a) occurs before step and c).
64 . The method of claim 61 , wherein step a) occurs after step c).
65 . The method of claim 61 , further comprising determining a time period between steps a) and step c) and performing steps a) and c) based upon that time period.
