A computer system in included in a system for providing wildfire evacuation support. The computer system operates to obtain sensor data that represents a wildfire in a target region from a UAV which is deployed within the target region, obtain a current location of an individual in a hazardous situation in the target region, and obtain a desired destination for the individual in the target region. Based on the sensor data, the computer device identifies one or more danger zones that pose a fire-related threat to the individual, and determines at least one evacuation path that extends from the current location to the desired destination while avoiding the one or more danger zones. The computer system may be located at the UAV or on a central computer resource in communication with the UAV.
