Forest Fire Situational Awareness
FY 2019-20 · 2019-07-22
Summary
The project is to enable fire management offices (FMOs) more situational awareness when fighting multi-hectare forest fires. Today's FMOs cobble together information from many sources arriving at various times, review with meteorologists and fire behaviour experts and make resourcing and fire-fighting decisions hours after the data arrives instead of seconds. Situational awareness is about getting the right data, in real-time, with smart alerts and intelligent dashboards that alert and recommend next steps. FTS will collect many different data sources and data and display to the FMO in an easy to understand way.

Description (French)
Le projet vise à permettre aux bureaux de gestion des incendies d'avoir une meilleure connaissance de la situation dans la lutte contre les incendies de forêt de plusieurs hectares. Les bureaux de gestion des incendies d'aujourd'hui rassemblent des renseignements provenant de nombreuses sources qui arrivent à divers moments, les examinent avec des météorologues et des spécialistes du comportement du feu et prennent des décisions en matière de ressources et de lutte contre l'incendie des heures plutôt que des secondes après l'arrivée des données. La connaissance de la situation consiste à obtenir les bonnes données, en temps réel, grâce à des alertes intelligentes et des tableaux de bord intelligents qui alertent et recommandent les prochaines étapes. FTS recueillera de nombreuses sources de données et de données différentes et les affichera aux bureaux de gestion des incendies d'une manière facile à comprendre.
