About this award
The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York received a $3.36 million Cooperative Agreement from the Department of Energy's Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER) program (CFDA 81.008), awarded October 1, 2025, with completion scheduled for September 30, 2028. The project, titled "Smart Wildfire Arrival Forecasting Technology for Electrical Assets and Infrastructure," will deliver methods and tools for fine-resolution fire spread modeling, continuous environmental monitoring, and real-time notification systems designed to alert critical electrical facilities and infrastructure operators of wildfire arrival timing and probability when a fire is detected.
This three-year initiative directly supports CESER's Risk Management Tools and Technologies division mandate to develop next-generation tools and technologies that protect U.S. energy infrastructure from natural hazards, specifically wildfires. The project work will be performed at the awardee's location in Amherst, New York, and represents the Department of Energy's investment in advancing early warning and situational awareness capabilities to enhance the security and resilience of electrical infrastructure against wildfire threats.
Description
The goal of this project is to provide methods and tools for fine-resolution fire spread modeling, continuous monitoring of environmental conditions, and immediate notification of the time and likelihood of a wildfire reaching critical electrical facilities and infrastructure when a fire is detected.
