About
WildFire-Ready is a free, ad-free app and web dashboard for residents of British Columbia and Alberta that aggregates live wildfire maps, air quality, evacuation alerts, road closures, and preparedness checklists from official Canadian government sources. It offers smart push alerts, fire weather intelligence, and FireSmart-aligned preparedness tools in both English and French. The platform is available on iOS, Android, and the web with no account required.
Problem
People in wildfire-prone areas have to check multiple government dashboards to understand whether a nearby fire is growing and what actions to take.
For
Residents of wildfire-exposed communities in British Columbia and Alberta
How it works
The app pulls live data exclusively from official Canadian agencies (BC Wildfire Service, Alberta Wildfire, NASA FIRMS, Environment Canada, etc.) and presents it in a single map-based interface with smart push alerts and preparedness checklists.
