The account, @WildfireSignal, will help authorities, aid organizations, and affected people monitor fires.
What it does: The tool, created by startup Descartes Labs, pulls the locations of active fires from a government database
and takes photos of them using the GOES 16 satellite. A team is then
able to collect and process the wildfire data in four minutes.
What it shares: The program builds a timelapse of the
fire based on the satellite data and automatically shares it on Twitter
every six hours, along with a hashtag specific to each blaze.
What’s next: In New Mexico, the researchers are also monitoring
how close fires get to buildings and residents to detect who is at the
highest risk. A live feed like this could help to reduce the reaction
time of first responders and save live
