Why is it important:
Monitoring of the potential risk areas and an early detection of fire can significantly shorten the reaction time and also reduce the potential damage as well as the cost of fire fighting.
We choose this challenge because we depend on forests for our survival, form the air we breath to the wood we use. Besides providing habitats for animals and livelihoods for humans , forests also offer watershed protection, prevent soil erosion and mitigate climate change. We faced a bit of challenges such as shortage of time but we made this come true.
By using space agency data we analyze the effects , causes of wild fire. In order to help for better detection we bring in our concept of sensors. NASA is currently using satellites whereas we are using sensors to detect fire and smoke with in seconds and sending alert messages to forest office and rescue team.
