Project Details
The Challenge | Spot That Fire V2.0
Your challenge is to create an application that leverages NASA's near-real-time and archival wildfire datasets along with other tools to support firefighting and fire mitigation efforts. This challenge builds on last year’s challenge of the same name by calling for innovative ideas and apps that focus on how to engage and enable citizens to assist with the entire firefighting and fire mitigation process.
Fire Safty
Fires are extremely dangerous not only for nature but also for living beings. Exposure to a fire can produce death, usually from inhalation of gases, or fainting from them, or later from severe burns.
Solution
Our solution is to create an API to notify people near fires and suggest safe routes through integration with geolocation applications. Fire predictions will also be made based on variables that may influence the emergence of fires in order to alert the authorities in advance.
Main Features
Notify people near fires in real time
Allow a user to notify small uncatalogated fires
Predict possible fires
Resource Data
Nasa fire database
INPE weather database
Road databases by Google Maps
