This project aims to build an opensource software system for setting wildfire evacuation triggers. The system is build using C++ and Qt. The opensource fire-spread modeling library fireLib is used for fire-spread modeling.

C++, Qt, fireLib

The source code is located in the "wetm" folder, while the sample data are in "testdata1" and "smalldata" folders.
