Education and economic impacts

Wildfires disrupt every aspect of daily lives, with significant impacts on economic and societal well-being. Schools in areas may close down for days or weeks, and adults may become unemployed. Can you develop a model to examine the education or economic impacts of wildfires in an area based on wildfire size, timing, severity, and destruction? Are there particular types of jobs that are affected by wildfires? Are there specific areas that would be more affected than others?
