Wildfire Conditions Monitoring

11/20/19

“How can we monitor weather conditions for wildfires?”

 

Wildfires have the potential to wreak devastation to entire communities, especially when exacerbated by climate change. To ensure that we can have situational awareness of when one might start, Wildfire Conditions Monitoring needs to be operational. This can include observing the temperature and dryness levels, analyzing what burnable materials are present, and keeping track of human activity. If done properly, wildfire mitigation can be vastly simplified.
