Project description
Disruptive platform puts out forest fires
Forest fires are important for many ecosystems as in the case of forest renewal and to help control insect and disease damage. But frequent and large-scale fires have severe impacts on the environment and society. The EU-funded SAFETY FOREST project will develop a timely and reliable solution that provides real-time monitoring, prevention and risk assessment of wildfires. It is a disruptive platform for decision-making in preventing, predicting and extinguishing wildfires in real time. It uses pre-processed remote sensing data, cloud computing, machine learning and modelling tools. SAFETY FOREST intuitive interface will enable to promptly act integrating multiple data sources. The use of Big Data analytics makes it a disruptive platform for public and private forest managers.
