IntroductionDefinition of Wildfire, any unplanned and uncon-trolled wild land fire that occurs in the countryside area. Most of the Earth’s water and air pollution reside in the troposphere. Wildfires destroy prop-erty and valuable natural resources, and may threaten the lives of people and animals. Wildfires can occur at any time of the year, but usually oc-cur during hot, dry weather.

Wildfires are usually signaled by dense smoke, which may fill the air for miles around. Wildfire also can affect climate and weather, it have major impacts on atmospheric pollution such as haze. Wildfire emissions contain fine particulate matter, which can cause cardiovascular and respiratory problem, which is dangerous.

In order to explain wildfire to people in this 21st century, the idea of wildfire website appear to be the most useful way to expose public about wildfire. It will contain everything about Wildfire including the history, characteristic, causes, and also effect to us in such innovative and interactive way. This websites also can be use as a educa-tional purposes for primary till collage to embrace our nature.

Wildfire have been a threat to most people out there. It can happen anywhere, so despite this problem I come out with this website that will:

Information

This website can give people more details information on wildfire such as history, causes, characteristic, and also effects. Inside it also will have the information on how the firefighter handle massive wildfire all around the world.

Awareness

To raise awareness between people on how dangerous wildfire can be. In such way this website will provide them with action plan, ways of prevention, and how to react when wildfire happen.

Help

This website also provided with some contact number to wild-fire department and also wild-fire management that can help and guide them in case they having trouble or trap inside wildfire.

Objective

5

Those who are expose to the Wildfire The website will help them to know more about wildfire and also this website will link them to those website that have the live up-date about wildfire that happen around them. They also can download a lot of stuff such as posters and also action plan form. They can know ways to prevent wildfire and also what to do if they happen to trap inside wildfire.

Students/Educational Purposes Some students need more information about nat-ural disaster that happen all around the world, so this is the place where they can learn more about wildfire. They can know the history of wildfire, how it can happen, the characteristic of wildfire, the ways to stop wildfire and also some pictures to get more clear how the firefighter handle wildfire. The teachers also can use this website as a aided materials for the student to get a clear picture on wildfire. In this website also students will be shown how firefighter fought to control the wildfire

Media/Press

When wildfire happen in some places, the media or reporter need to do cover about the story, so what they need to do is some research. This website can help them to get information about wildfire and also get some of the old news about wildfire that happen around the world. This website also can pro-vide them with contact to various fire depart-ment and also wildfire management office to help them keep up with what is happening.

System specification

Research

Based on my research, statistically the 800x600 resolution is almost non-existent compared to last 5-10 years ago. This is because, user tend to surf the web using bigger screens and also the market of computer monitors has gone bigger and bigger, people wanted to see more on their screen. So this is crucial because it will effect on how the sites are being built. For conclusion I decided to work with 1200x900 for this website.

Screen Resolution24” LED Cinema Display

Design SpecificationConcept

Ashes & Fire

Lines

Firefighter

Grid

This is the most crucial part because concept will determine how this website will look like. As soon as I get this topic of Wildfire, the main ideas that come straight to my head is flame and fiery style. But I need to be careful on how im using the fire element on this website. I don’t want to make this website just focusing into wildfire but also tells people on the danger side of it, how it can be fatal to the people. So I do more research on fire effects and element and come out with:

Inspired from some movie websites, I design the layout with fire and ashes effects, this to create drama and en-hance the appearance of this website.

This is the foundation of design which is lines. I used lines to create flows and by placing my lines in different order and orentation makes it looks like profersional and disasterous at the same time.

Fire fighter is also one of the elements that I have put in this web design. Other then to appreciate them it is also will guide the user understand more about this website which is to help people. As we all know firefighter is always helping people regarding fire disaster that happen around us.

The main frame for this website will be the grid surface, this is because grid technique have been used widely in web designing, so why not I use the same technique and make it appear on the design. It is also will help me organize the web layout a lot more easier.

Design SpecificationColor Usage

Fonts

Colors that i use for this website is more towards elegant an profesional look. I have done a lot of research regarding to the colors that have been used for websites that related to wildfires and also fires. Most of them using red, yellow and also orange as the main colors. This is because of the color fire itself. This color is too predictable and im planning to use a different approach by using different hue of browns and orange. As we know the land or ground is brown in color and also fire is orange so from this two combination i have selected several colors that I will use as a color pallet for this website. This is the colors that have been choosed:

#db7c00

#736357

#7b2e00

#ffffff

I belived this color will help this website to look more profesional and also elegent. This color also is very please to the eye as they can read the fonts very easily because the background color is a dark color.

Other then colors, typefaces or fonts that will be use in this website also quite important, the font itself will potray the characteristic of this website. As for this website I choose a Serif typeface which is “Optimus Princeps” and as for the body text I used “Arial” and also “Helvetica”. The rea-son why i choose Serif typeface for my header and sub header is because of its character simply suits my concept which is elegant, profesional and simple meanwhile for the body text I choose Sans Serif because it is more easier to read. The size for header is 18px and for subheader is 14 px. Body text font size I choose to make it a little bit smaller which is 10px, that is the smalles size of fonts for average people to read on screen.

SketchesBefore i can start designing my website digitally, it is better if i do some rough sketches so that i can have a better idea of what the final outcome will be look like. This sketches will be my guide during designing in photoshop. The sketches also have been develop as well, i need to show progression to my lecturer to furthure enhance my website and thus producing a very good product. This is some of my sketches:

Screen Design

1st Design

2nd Design

This is my first design after i did some research on natural disaster and wildfire website, the idea is to have a simple and profesional website.

My second design was based on origami and overlapping lines ideas, this creat more energy to the website.

17

Screen Design

3rd Design

4th Design

As my lecturer want me to go even outside from the box, so i was trying to intergrate photomanipulation with web design interface, this is what i have from research that i have done.

This is just an updated version of the 3rd design, with different placement of menu bar and also some interactive design incorparate in the design itself.

18

Screen Design

5th Design

6th Design

The previous design was too crowded so i was planning to make it more simple and prefesional look, this is what the outcome is after some research.

Im trying to design some different background for the previous design, the menu bar and style is still the same.

19

Screen Design

7th Design

8th Design

Even more simpler, i go with an effect on the header and make it fade to the content, as the aeroplane fly beside the title it makes more drama to the design itself.

This design was produced after i got an idea of put all the even all together in the background, how it happen, where it happen how to save and everything we can see it on one wallpaper.

20

Screen Design

10th Design

11th Design

After getting the idea of putting every event in one wallpaper, i was thinking i can use this as my menu page, so this is what i did for it.

Based on my 10th design i try to see weather i can coperate the background with the inside page, so this is what i have in mind after doing much more research.

21

Screen Design

The Final DesignFinally, this is my final design, well it is different from the previous design but actually, all the elements inside was taken from all my previous design, the overlapping lines ideas was taken from the 2nd design while the menu bar was taken from 5th & 6th design and the background of 10th design was used for this final design. I tried to get more profesional and elegent look by using brown tonal color together with white and orange. Overall the design make it please to the eye.

22

Design ReferanceThis is some research and referance that i got during this project. This referance help me a lot while im doing my design espicailly this is my first time doing web design. It give me a different perspective on how web design works. Designing web design is different compared with designing an advertisment or poster, we need to think how to navi-gate people from one infomation to the other and at the same time make sure people are not bored with our website, if we fail to do it, the idea if transfering information to people cannot be archived. So with a lot of referance i man-aged to design my own website which can help people to know more about my subject which is ”Wildfire”.

Website ContentsA wildfire also known as a wildland fire, forest fire, vegetation fire, grass fire, peat fire, bushfire (in Australia), or hill fire is an uncontrolled fire often occurring in wildland areas, but which can also consume houses or agricultural resources. Wildfires often begin unnoticed, but they spread quickly igniting brush, trees and homes.

Wildfires differ from other fires in that they take place outdoors in areas of grassland, woodlands, bush, scrubland, peat, and other woody materials that act as a source of fuel (or combustible material). Buildings are not usually involved, unless the fire spreads to adjacent communities and threatens these structures. Some of the defining characteristics of wildfires are the large area of burned land, upwards of 100,000 acres (404.7 km²) to 1,000,000 acres (4,046.9 km²), and higher; the velocity of the burning front, which can burn as fast as 6.8 mph (11 kilometres per hour) in forests and 14 mph (22 kilometres per hour) in grasslands; and the ability of the burning front to unexpectedly change direction and to jump across fire breaks. The intense heat and smoke can lead to disorientation and loss of appreciation of the direction of the fire.

Even before the flames of a wildfire arrive at a particular location, heat from the wildfire ‘front’ can precede the flames drying and pre-heating flammable materials, due to temperatures nearing 1,470 °F (800 °C). High-temperature and long-duration surface wildfires may encourage flashover or torching: the drying of tree canopy, the fuel, and their subsequent ignition from below.

History

In the Welsh Borders, the first evidence of wildfire is rhyniophytoid plant fossils preserved as charcoal, dating to the Silurian period (about 420 million years ago). Smoldering surface fires started to occur sometime before the Early Devonian period 405 million years ago. Low atmos-pheric oxygen during the Middle and Late Devonian was accompanied by a decrease in charcoal abundance. Additional charcoal evidence suggests that fires continued through the Carbonifer-ous period. Later, the overall increase of atmospheric oxygen from 13% in the Late Devonian to 30-31% by the Late Permian was accompanied by a more widespread distribution of wildfires. Later, a decrease in wildfire-related charcoal deposits from the late Permian to the Triassic peri-ods is explained by a decrease in oxygen levels.

Wildfires during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic periods followed patterns similar to fires that occur in modern times. Surface fires driven by dry seasons are evident in Devonian and Carboniferous progymnosperm forests. Lepidodendron forests dating to the Carboniferous period have charred peaks, evidence of crown fires. In Jurassic gymnosperm forests, there is evidence of high fre-quency, light surface fires. The increase of fire activity in the late Tertiary is possibly due to the in-crease of C4-type grasses. As these grasses shifted to more mesic habitats, their high flammabil-ity increased fire frequency, promoting grasslands over woodlands. However, fire-prone habitats may have contributed to the prominence of trees such as those of the genus Pinus, which have thick bark to withstand fires and employ serotiny.

29

Characteristic

Physical Propeties:Wildfires occur when all of the necessary elements of a fire triangle come together in a suscepti-ble area: an ignition source is brought into contact with a combustible material such as vegeta-tion, that is subjected to sufficient heat and has an adequate supply of oxygen from the ambi-ent air. High moisture content usually prevents ignition and slows propagation, because higher temperatures are required to evaporate any water within the material and heat the material to its fire point. Dense forests usually provide more shade, resulting in lower ambient temperatures and greater humidity, and are therefore less susceptible to wildfires. Less dense material such as grasses and leaves are easier to ignite because they contain less water than denser material such as branches and trunks. Plants continuously lose water by evapotranspiration, but water loss is usually balanced by water absorbed from the soil, humidity, or rain. When this balance is not maintained, plants dry out and are therefore more flammable, often a consequence of droughts. A wildfire front is the portion sustaining continuous flaming combustion, where unburned material meets active flames, or the smoldering transition between unburned and burned material. As the front approaches, the fire heats both the surrounding air and woody material through convection and thermal radiation. First, wood is dried as water is vaporized at a temperature of 100 °C (212 °F). Next, the pyrolysis of wood at 230 °C (450 °F) releases flammable gases. Finally, wood can smolder at 380 °C (720 °F) or, when heated sufficiently, ignite at 590 °C (1,000 °F). Even before the flames of a wildfire arrive at a particular location, heat transfer from the wildfire front warms the air to 800 °C (1,470 °F), which pre-heats and dries flammable materials, causing materials to ignite faster and allowing the fire to spread faster. High-temperature and long-duration surface wildfires may encourage flashover or torching: the drying of tree canopies and their subsequent ignition from below. Wildfires have a rapid forward rate of spread (FROS) when burning through dense, uninterrupted fuels. They can move as fast as 10.8 kilometers per hour (6.7 mph) in forests and 22 kilometers per hour (14 mph) in grasslands. Wildfires can advance tangential to the main front to form a flanking front, or burn in the opposite direction of the main front by backing. They may also spread by jumping or spotting as winds and vertical convection columns carry firebrands(hot wood embers) and other burning materials through the air over roads, rivers, and other barri-ers that may otherwise act as firebreaks. Torching and fires in tree canopies encourage spotting, and dry ground fuels that surround a wildfire are especially vulnerable to ignition from firebrands Spotting can create spot fires as hot embers and firebrands ignite fuels downwind from the fire. In Australian bushfires, spot fires are known to occur as far as 10 kilometers (6 mi) from the fire frontEspecially large wildfires may affect air currents in their immediate vicinities by the stack effect: air rises as it is heated, and large wildfires create powerful updrafts that will draw in new, cooler air from surrounding areas in thermal columns. Great vertical differences in temperature and hu-midity encourage pyrocumulus clouds, strong winds, and fire whirls with the force of tornadoes at speeds of more than 80 kilometers per hour (50 mph). Rapid rates of spread, prolific crowning or spotting, the presence of fire whirls, and strong convection columns signify extreme conditions.

Weather:

30

Weather is the most variable factor affecting wildfire behavior, with some geographic locations having a favorable overall climate for wildfire activity. High-risk areas in Oregon, including Jack-son County, share a hot, dry season in late summer and early fall when high temperatures and low humidity favor fire activity. Predominant wind directions may guide a fire’s path, as demon-strated by New Mexico’s wind driven Los Alamos fire in 2000.It is often a change in the weather that marks the end of a wildfire’s growth.

Fuel:Fuel is the material that feeds a fire, and is a key factor in wildfire behavior. Fuel is classified by volume and type. Volume is described in terms of “fuel loading,” the amount of available vegeta-tive fuel. If fuel loading doubles, the energy released can also be expected to double. The type of fuel also influences wildfire. Jackson County is located far enough south in Oregon that even though it is west of the Cascades, it is dry enough to support the prevalent conifer, brush, and rangeland fuel types. Thus, Jackson County is subject to more frequent wildfires than other re-gions of western Oregon. Another important element of fuel is its continuity. A house surrounded by brushy growth rather than cleared space allows for greater continuity of fuel and increases the fire’s ability to spread.

How

Common causes of wildfires include lightning, human carelessness, arson, volcano eruption, and pyroclastic cloud from active volcano. Heat waves, droughts, and cyclical climate changes such as El Niño can also have a dramatic effect on the risk of wildfires. Although, more than four out of every five wildfires are caused by people. The four major natural causes of wildfire ignitions are lightning, volcanic eruption, sparks from rockfalls, and spontaneous combustion. The thousands of coal seam fires that are burning around the world, such as those in Centralia, Burning Mountain, and several coal-sustained fires in China, can also flare up and ignite nearby flammable material. However, many wildfires are attributed to human sources such asarson, discarded cigarettes, sparks from equipment, and power line arcs (as detected by arc mapping). In societies experiencingshifting cultivation where land is cleared quickly and farmed until the soil loses fertility, slash and burn clearing is often con-sidered the least expensive way to prepare land for future use. Forested areas cleared by logging encourage the dominance of flammable grasses, and abandoned logging roads overgrown by vegetation may act as fire corridors. Annual grassland fires in southern Vietnam can be attributed in part to the destruction of forested areas by US military herbicides, explosives, and mechanical land clearing and burning operations during the Vietnam War.

The most common cause of wildfires varies throughout the world. In the Canada and northwest China, for example, lightning is the major source of ignition. In other parts of the world, human involvement is a major contributor. In Mexico, Central America, South America, Africa, South-east Asia, Fiji, and New Zealand, wildfires can be attributed to human activities such as animal husbandry, agriculture, and land-conversion burning. Human carelessness is a major cause of wildfires in China and in the Mediterranean Basin. In the United States and Australia, the source of wildfires can be traced to both lightning strikes and human activities such as machinery sparks

31

Where

Wildfires can occur anywhere, but are common in the forested areas of the United States and Canada. They are also susceptible in many places around the world, including much of the veg-etated areas of Australia as well as in the Western Cape of South Africa. The climates are suf-ficiently moist to allow the growth of trees, but feature extended dry, hot periods. Fires are par-ticularly prevalent in the summer and fall, and during droughts when fallen branches, leaves, and other material can dry out and become highly flammable. Wildfires are also common in grass-lands and scrublands.

Surviving

What to do BEFORE a Wildfire:• Create defensible space to separate your home from flammable vegetation and materials (minimum 30 ft)• Adhere to all local fire and building codes and weed abatement ordinances.• Keep all trees and shrub limbs trimmed so they do not come into contact with electrical wires or overhang your chimney (Do not trim around power lines yourself, call a professional).• Prune all lower branches 8 feet from the ground.• Keep trees adjacent to buildings free of dead or dying branches.• Stack firewood away from your home and other buildings (Keep clearance around your piles).• Keep roof surfaces clear of pine needles, leaves and debris at all times.• Clean chimneys and check and maintain spark arresters twice a year.• Keep rain gutters clear of debris at all times.• Use approved fire resistant materials when building, renovating or retrofitting structures.• Be sure your house numbers show clearly from the street, both day and night.• Store combustible or flammable materials in approved containers.• Store all important papers in a fireproof container or keep copies at another location.• Make evacuation plans with family members. Include several options with an outside meeting place and contact person. Practice regularly.• Keep battery operated radios and flashlights with additional fresh batteries on hand.

What to do DURING a Wildfire:• Turn on a TV or radio to get the latest emergency information.• If you have a ladder, prop it against the house so you and firefighters have access to roof.• If hoses and adequate water are available set them up. Fill buckets with water.• Remove combustible material from the area surrounding the house (lawn chairs, tables, etc.).• Turn a light on in each room for visibility in case of smoke.• Open or take down flammable drapes and curtains.• Close all venetian blinds and non-flammable window coverings.• Move upholstered furniture away from windows and sliding glass doors.• Be ready to evacuate all family members and pets when requested to do so.

32

• Turn off air conditioning/air circulation systems• Detach electrical garage doors. Back in your car and leave the keys in the ignition.• Secure your pets if possible.

What to do AFTER a Wildfire:• Check with fire officials before attempting to return to your home.• Use caution when re-entering a burned area - flare ups can occur.• Check grounds for hot spots, smoldering stumps and vegetation. Use your buckets of wa-ter.• Check the roof and exterior areas for sparks and embers.• Check the attic and throughout the house for hidden burning, sparks and embers.• Continue to check for problem areas for several days.• Contact 911 if any danger is perceived.

Rescuing

Wildfire suppression depends on the technologies available in the area in which the wildfire oc-curs. In less developed nations the techniques used can be as simple as throwing sand or beat-ing the fire with sticks or palm fronds. In more advanced nations, the suppression methods vary due to increased technological capacity. Silver iodide can be used to encourage snow fall, while fire retardants and water can be dropped onto fires by unmanned aerial vehicles, planes, and helicopters. Complete fire suppression is no longer an expectation, but the majority of wildfires are often extinguished before they grow out of control. While more than 99% of the 10,000 new wildfires each year are contained, escaped wildfires can cause extensive damage. Worldwide damage from wildfires is in the billions of Euros annually. Wildfires in Canada and the US burn an average of 54,500 square kilometers (13,000,000 acres) per year.

Above all, fighting wildfires can become deadly. A wildfire’s burning front may also change direc-tion unexpectedly and jump across fire breaks. Intense heat and smoke can lead to disorientation and loss of appreciation of the direction of the fire, which can make fires particularly dangerous. For example, during the 1949 Mann Gulch fire in Montana, USA, thirteen smokejumpers died when they lost their communication links, became disorientated, and were overtaken by the fire.[188] In the Australian February 2009 Victorian bushfires, at least 173 people died and over 2,029 homes and 3,500 structures were lost when they became engulfed by wildfire

ConclusionAfter almost 4 month in this project I have come out with a conclusion which is web design is fun and though, the idea of having your own website is fun, you can be as creative as you can but when it comes to the techniqal part you need to know how to handle the problem. With a lot of guide from my lecturer, Mr. SMK. I have managed to pro-duce my own website entitle “The Wildfire - Nature Disaster”

From this project, i have learn a lot about web design, from planning until coding I have learn from my lecturer. Hon-estly before this I’m cluless about what is HTML and what is CSS, but slowly I learn it every week, sometimes I find tutorial from internet just to revised back what i have learn in the class. This class have provide me with great knowl-edge where it would become handy when its coming to graduation day or maybe after i have graduate where i need my own portfolio website, where my future employer can find out about me and see my artworks.

This website was mainly produce for people who need extra knowledge about what is wildfire, and it is so helpful for people who are exposed to the wildfire as this website provided, live updates map and also twitter about what is happen, where wildfire is happening and any annoucement by official about current wildfire. So i think this is a good website for people to get not only general knowledge about wildfire but also current information about wildfire.

I would love to also have this website to run on smartphones and also tables. As it will be more handy for people, hopedully I will have more time to design an apps for this website where people can download it and have updates about wildfire anywhere there are from all around the world. I hope this website really helpful for people out there and hopefully it will give more knowledge to those people out there.
