Let check some AI on finding wildfire vulnerabilities mapping with the help of NASA active fire data based on terra and aqua satellite which provide considerable accuracy. Interested who want to collaborate, let me know.
As large wildfires that prompt evacuations, damage homes, and impact local economies become more common, itβs hard not to feel a sense of relief when a wildfire ignites in a remote landscape far from the nearest community.
Yet not everyone can breathe easy when a fire is reported in an unpopulated area. Utility companies with transmission lines running through out-of-the-way places and renewable energy providers with wind turbines and large solar arrays in remote areas are just two examples of businesses whose assets may be at risk from natural hazards when people and communities are not.
"Having [wildfire] hotspot data available to any company in North America or anywhere in the world is hugely important,"' said Mark Carinello, product manager for Indji Systems. "Without it, we and our customers would have much less awareness of where fires are right now and how they might impact their work."
In our latest feature, learn how Indji Systems uses active fire data from NASAβs Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) to keep its clients aware of potential threats to their infrastructure in remote areas.
