      abstract = {Wildfires pose escalating threats to ecosystems, infrastructure, and human lives in fire-prone U.S. regions due to climate change and anthropogenic pressures (Williams et al., 2022; Chen & Anderson, 2023). This study proposes an advanced GIS-integrated early warning system (EWS) that combines real-time geospatial analytics, geological terrain mapping, and machine learning to enhance wildfire prediction and mitigation (Thompson & Roberts, 2024). By synthesizing data from satellite imagery, IoT sensors, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and historical fire records (Martinez & Lee, 2023), the system dynamically models fire behavior, identifies high-risk zones, and optimizes evacuation and resource deployment (Kumar et al., 2024). The methodology leverages multi-criteria decision analysis, including the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) (Saaty & Johnson, 2021), to integrate variables such as fuel load, slope, weather patterns, and human activity (Zhang & Peterson, 2023). Case studies in California and the Pacific Northwest demonstrate the system's efficacy in reducing response times by 40% and improving risk mapping accuracy by 35% (Rodriguez-Smith et al., 2024). This framework offers scalable solutions for adaptive wildfire management, emphasizing stakeholder collaboration and community resilience (Park & Henderson, 2023).},
