Wildfires are a growing threat to communities around the world. Climate change, population growth, and development are all contributing to the increasing risk of wildfires. Technology can play a significant role in mitigating the risks and protecting our communities (from early detection and warning systems to real-time mapping and tracking to community preparedness). This session will explore the emerging threats posed by wildfires and the opportunities to integrate technology to improve outcomes.
