Inspiration
With wildfires becoming more frequent and devastating due to climate change, the need for proactive solutions has never been greater. Recent disasters, including the LA fires, have shown that every second counts when it comes to saving lives, protecting communities, and preserving natural ecosystems. Our Wildfire Prediction Monitoring System is inspired by the urgency to shift from reactive firefighting to predictive prevention. By harnessing real-time data and advanced analytics, we aim to provide early warnings that empower communities and responders to act before fires spiral out of control.
What it does
Our wildfire prediction monitoring system is a machine-learning based system that utilizes sensor data on temperature and humidity to predict wildfire risk. By analyzing patterns in these conditions, the system can identify warning signs of potential wildfires. It generates risk assessments which can be used to alert for emergency responders, local communities, and land management agencies, enabling proactive measures to prevent fires from spreading. The system’s predictive capabilities help optimize resource allocation, improve response times, and ultimately reduce the impact of wildfires on people, property, and the environment.
How we built it
Ideation → Research → Prototype → Machine Learning
Challenges we ran into
- Limited resources, namely sensor data
- Storage limited on arduino, which limited the arduino's ability to connect to WiFi
What's next for Wildfire Prediction Monitoring System
- Better data
- More sensors including oxygen and pressure level
- Automation from data to website
- Connect to Wifi for wireless data transmission
