How Tech is Fighting Wildfires: Drones, AI, and You

Technology is revolutionizing wildfire prevention. Here’s how:

  • *Drones*: Equipped with thermal cameras, drones detect hotspots before they spread. In 2022, drones helped reduce wildfire spread by 15% in California.
  • *AI Predictions*: Machine learning analyzes weather patterns, vegetation, and human activity to predict high-risk areas.
  • *Satellite Monitoring*: Real-time satellite imagery helps track fires and coordinate responses.

But tech alone isn’t enough. Public awareness and action are critical. Together, we can outsmart wildfires.

Wildfire Prevention 101: Small Actions, Big Impact

Wildfires are devastating, but prevention starts with you. Did you know that 90% of wildfires are caused by human activity? Here’s how you can help:

  1. *Campfire Safety*: Always fully extinguish campfires. Use water, stir the ashes, and repeat until cold.
  2. *Proper Disposal*: Never toss cigarettes or matches out of car windows. Use designated containers.
  3. *Defensible Space*: Clear dry vegetation within 30 feet of your home. This simple step can save properties and lives.
  4. *Report Early*: If you spot a fire, call emergency services immediately. Early detection is key.
