Artificial intelligence in controlling catastrophic bushfires

Published on

Australians will not easily forget the summer of 2019-20 due to bushfires. Many residents of the southeastern region of the country remember the sky covered with black smoke. This year, authorities are looking to enlist the help of artificial intelligence to understand how bushfires spread.

In late 2019, Kayla was struggling to save her home from bushfires in Rosedale, southern New South Wales.

Although unable to save the house, Kayla and his partner managed to get out of the house unharmed.

Many like them suffered in the Black Summer bushfires of Seva. 30 people died in it.

After almost three years, they are rebuilding the house again in the same place. But the risk of bushfires remains.

Australasian Fire and Emergency Service Authorities Council Dr. Experts like Simon Hiemstra say the grass has grown due to the wet weather of the monsoon season. And this will affect the summer.

The fire danger rating system across Australia was changed and brought into line in September this year. It is published in more than 10 languages.

Now, fire authorities are looking at how to use artificial intelligence technology to get more benefits.

Dr. Hiemstra said it will be very helpful in firefighting.

This technology is being implemented by an American-based company called Pano A-I. Whenever a fire is detected, the company’s intelligence center confirms it and sends an alert within minutes.

Aravind Satyam, spokesperson of the company, said that they can help the authorities in various ways.

It is currently used in Noosa in Northern Queensland and in the Riverina region of New South Wales.

Noosa Mayor Claire Stewart said it would be really useful in terms of fire management and control.

It is hoped that this technology will take a step forward in preventing bushfires.
