Why Sentinel Prime

Make the best possible evacuation decisions before the fire makes them for you.

Worst-case wildfire incidents force extreme evacuation decisions under immense pressure. Prime automatically identifies the optimal evacuation plan given the potential wildfire spread, freeing up bandwidth for you to give what may be some of the most consequential orders of your career. 

01 / Spread

Validated fire-spread progression

A robust spread model (fuels, terrain, live weather, and observed perimeter) runs automatically with clear context.

02 / Plan

Rapid evacuation tactical plan

Prime creates an actionable plan (zones to order and when, trigger points, traffic control, and clearance estimates), ready to execute on.

03 / Intelligence

Clear decision intelligence

Trigger-point alerts, time-to-threshold by zone, and clearance-vs-threat windows, with evidence.

04 / Shared

Streamed back to command

Every model run, plan revision, and recommendation streams live to IC, the EOC, and unified command, one shared operating picture, no waiting for the next briefing.

05 / Connected

Reads your CAD & feeds

Pulls the active incident and field observations straight from CAD and sensor feeds, so the model reflects what's actually on the ground.

06 / Live

Continuously re-forecast

As the wind shifts and conditions change on the ground, Prime automatically revises the plan, and tells you what has changed about the decision in front of you.

Automated decision support

Prime calculates your tactics.
You make the call.

The moment an incident is detected, Prime forecasts fire progression model and drafts an evacuation plan, then surfaces the decisions in front of you to review and execute: which area is threatened, how long until it is untenable to evacuate, and the course of action that provides the best chance at clearing it.

Every recommendation carries evidence, the model run, the clearance estimate, and the decision point, so you can act on intelligence rather than pure instinct and defend the call later.

Fire-spread projection

See where it's going, not just where it is.

Prime projects the fire forward against fuels, terrain, and live weather, then overlays the threatened evacuation zones and the time you have before each one is untenable. The projection updates continuously as the observed perimeter and conditions come in.

This gives you clear intelligence on lives and dollars at risk to maximize suppression and evacuation tactics.

Evacuation tactics

A complete tactical evacuation plan: ordered, sequenced, and timed.

Prime draws up the plan you would otherwise build by hand: which zones to order and in what sequence, where the traffic control points go, which egress routes to prioritize, and how long we have before the threat reaches the areas being evacuated.

This plan is continuously updated and improved as new information comes in.

In an incident

From detection to defensible orders in minutes.

T+0

Detection

The incident lands from CAD or other sources. Prime pulls location, fuels, terrain, live weather, traffic, dollars, and lives at risk, and stands up the incident workspace for command automatically.

T+15s

Model

A validated, ensemble fire-spread projection is running, current perimeter forward to +8h, with confidence bounds and the areas it threatens, plus breakdowns of dollars and lives at risk.

T+3m

Plan & issue orders

A clear tactical evacuation plan is drafted: order sequence, trigger points, egress, clearance-vs-threat. Prime recommends the call; you make it, with evidence attached.

T+LIVE

Re-forecast

As the current perimeter, weather and traffic updates, the model re-runs and the plan revises in seconds, and command sees exactly what changed about the decision.

The technology

One engine behind every Prime decision: Ladris IncidentChain.

Prime's ability to provide decision support during dynamic conditions relies on Ladris IncidentChain™, a proprietary service developed by Ladris that chains together the entire stack of technology behind any incident that can lead to an evacuation — from detection to forecast to tactics — in a single fluid motion.

01 / Detect

"We might have two hours before the fire reaches 100,000 people at once. 

Ladris makes what would have been a near-impossible evacuation feasible for the first time ever."
