Wildfire incidents have become an alarming phenomenon that threatens the ecology, economy, and public safety. Thus, this research aimed to develop a Fire Hazard Index using LST, NDVI, NDMI, NDWI, NDDI, and NBR to suit the tropical climate region. The spectral indices were extracted from the Landsat 8 image, and the MLR was applied to obtain the correlation coefficients. The results show that the index was statistically significant and describing 71% (R² = 0.71) of the variation in the data. Geospatial technologies and spectral data applied in this innovation would help authorities to optimize resource allocation and perform controlled burns.
