Spot That Fire V3.0

Recent wildfires worldwide have demonstrated the importance of rapid wildfire detection, mitigation, and community impact assessment analysis. Your challenge is to develop and/or augment an existing application to detect, predict, and assess the economic impacts from actual or potential wildfires by leveraging high-frequency data from a new generation of geostationary satellites, data from polar-orbiting environmental satellites, and other open-source datasets.

Summary

To solve one of the problems our environment faces which is the wildfires problem, our team came up with the idea of an application that spots the fire sites and provides Information about the probability of occurring a fire using satellites data, provide notifications and alerts about fires’ locations by calculating the factors that help to increase the fire in order to predict sites where fires are highly predicted to occur, Besides a website that provides main precautions that people should take if there was a fire, provides effects on both nature and human.

How We Addressed This Challenge

The application was coded to get data needed to calculate the rate of each factor of the factors causing wildfires to occur giving the probability of occurrence in any spot on the Earth , If the probability is nearly high an alert is given to the user so that he can prevent the largest amount of losses and save as many lives as he can , the website contains information about what causes wildfires and also has got precautions on how to deal with fire , effects of wildfires that cause a great loss in our communities and a hopeful message to the humanity about how the wildfires might be good in other ways.

How We Developed This Project

An application wasn’t just enough for solving the main problem of the wildfires which is the Human, this is when we decided to make a website that can work as an adviser for users giving them the harmful effects of the wildfires and what mainly cause wildfires and precautions the users should take when dealing with fires and finally we didn’t forgot to focus on the positive part of the wildfires as they help many living organisms.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

while doing our search on the challenge, we depended mainly on NASA's sources also JAXA helped us a lot to understand more about the parameters that affect the wildfires, and during searching about the prior solutions which is related to our challenge NASA helps us in showing the prior solutions that had reached finalist state as this prior solutions gave us the inspiration of ideas until we reach our idea.
