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.

Identifire

An app that makes the process of notifying about wildfires easier and faster

SPLIT

Background: nowadays wildfires are very big and serious problem which size and damage mostly depends on reaction time. To reduce firefighters reaction time and fight with this catastrophe easier, faster and make less damage to nature and environment we decided to create an app, with which help regular citizen to report about fire by simply clicking one button.

How it works: user app has a big red button. After it is clicked person can make a photo to prove that this alarm is not fake and then by clicking the button coordinates of device and photo would be sent to firefighters station. Also there is possibility to send only coordinates of device if network is low and in this case firefighting station operator could check place of fire by using additional information.

Nasa recourses: we used different Nasa maps about potential locations of wildfires.

Future plans: in future updates we plan to upload several maps, which could show spoil state, landscape features. To expand network range. Install artificial intelligence to decide faster and better about legitimacy about fire alarm. warn people in dangerous area about fire.

This app prototype was made using Balsamiq: https://balsamiq.cloud/svseu7o/p3igmf/r2278?f=N4IgUiBcAMA0IDkpxAYWfAMhkAhHAsjgFo4DSUA2gLoC%2BQA%3D

Also we created demo version using Visual Studio with c#: https://youtu.be/ulbn9PyKrIQ
