NASA's tech improves wildfire prediction and response efforts
Summary: NASA's remote sensing technology, developed in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and other agencies, enhances wildfire prediction and response. Utilizing sensors on drones and aircraft, real-time data is relayed to firefighting teams, improving decision-making. Since its inception in the 1990s, this technology has been pivotal in managing significant fire events, including California's record-breaking 2008 fire season, potentially reducing injuries and property damage.
