The threat of wildfires is growing. Exacerbated by climate change and the growing urban-wildland interface, wildfires are not only becoming increasingly common, they’re also burning hotter, faster and more unpredictably than ever before. The increase of fire activity not only jeopordizes human life and property, it also poses numerous national security, critical infrastructure and economic risks.
This past week, June 3-4, 2020, we invited some of the wildfire management industry’s leading minds to discuss the latest, innovative strategies and emerging technologies poised to transform wildfire prediction, prevention, detection and suppression. From the use of small tactical drones to next generation predictive modelling & simulation technology, our presenters shared the next generation of tools they’re developing & leveraging to maximize the effectiveness & efficiency of wildfire management efforts. In addition, they also discussed how the industry is coming together to share data, knowledge, training and resources on local, national and global levels.
We at IDGA are honored to be a part of the conversation and have created this Post-Event Recap to showcase some of what was shared during the event.
