City of Los Angeles Palisades wildfire initial damage inspection dashboard built by BES — ArcGIS visualization of Cal Fire damage assessment data across impacted communities.

Our Work with the City of Los Angeles Supporting the Palisades Wildfire Recovery

Initial Damage Inspection visualization

When devastating wildfires broke out across the City of Los Angeles, they were faced with unprecedented damage, debris, and displaced families across their communities. BES supported their vital recovery efforts through geospatial visualization, helping build dashboards like the one above, which is built on Cal Fire’s initial damage inspection data.

City of Los Angeles Palisades wildfire real-time recovery tracking dashboard built by BES — visualizing debris removal progress, property damage status, and restoration efforts for impacted property owners.

Real-time Recovery tracking

BES supported impacted property owners by visualizing the damage to their properties and the progress of restoration efforts, including debris removal and cleanup, through the design and publication of two public dashboards. To support decision-making for LA’s public safety leaders, BES built an internal dashboard that provided a common operating picture and ensured an efficient and equitable recovery across the community.
