Three disciplines,
five ways to engage.
We don't sell hours. We sell decisions you can defend at 3 a.m. when something's on fire and the radio won't stop. Pick the entry point that fits the problem.
Geospatial Risk Mapping.
Custom risk maps and spatial models that hold up under operational load. Terrain analysis, hazard overlays, SAR resource positioning, wildfire and flood exposure, access constraints.
- Multi-hazard exposure maps
- SAR positioning & response sectors
- Wildland fire & flood overlays
- Insurance-grade reports
Austere Response Intelligence.
Spatial decision support for rescue, evacuation, medical access, and remote operations where terrain, time, weather, and limited resources determine outcomes. We model the geometry of getting to people and getting them out.
- Evacuation route modeling
- Rescue complexity scoring
- Landing zone suitability analysis
- Medical access & response-time modeling
- Terrain mobility & exposure analysis
AI + Spatial Systems.
Built-in, not bolted on. We integrate AI into the GIS workflows your team already runs — Claude pipelines, predictive spatial analytics, automation, and the staff training to keep it all standing.
- Workflow automation with Claude
- Predictive spatial models
- GIS pipeline integration
- Staff training & runbooks
What a Byrd Geospatial deliverable looks like.
Most engagements produce one of these. Each is scoped, fixed-fee, and built to be defended in front of someone who has to make a decision.
- 01 —Risk exposure mapMulti-hazard overlay tuned to your area of operations.
- 02 —Rescue complexity indexTerrain, access, weather, and time fused into a defensible score.
- 03 —Evacuation route modelRoute options ranked by terrain mobility, slope, exposure.
- 04 —Landing zone suitabilityLZ candidates scored on slope, surface, obstacles, approach.
- 05 —Recreation risk dashboardLive risk scoring for trails, sites, and access points.
- 06 —ArcGIS / QGIS automationOne-click workflows that replace 4–6 hours of manual GIS.
- 07 —Claude-assisted pipelineAI in the loop where it earns its keep, not where it doesn't.
- 08 —PostGIS spatial databaseSet up, indexed, and documented for a team that will keep it.
- 09 —Field team map packetPrint- and tablet-ready packets for actual field use.
- 10 —Executive decision briefTwo pages. Maps, deltas, recommendations. Defendable.
Standing retainer.
For teams that need a partner on call during fire season, runoff, storm windows, or whatever the calendar is doing. A monthly cadence with reserved capacity, written deliverables, and the same number to call when something changes at 3 a.m.
- Reserved monthly capacity
- Quarterly model + data refresh
- Office hours for your team
- Priority response on live incidents
- On-call during named risk windows
- Updated map packets each cycle
