The Problem
Wildfire agencies are increasingly approached by vendors, innovators, researchers, and service providers offering emerging technologies for prevention, preparedness, detection, response, recovery, and fuels management.
Today that information is gathered through informal and inconsistent processes. There is no mechanism for sharing insights, tracking maturity, or coordinating engagement across the wildfire community.
- Duplicated effort across agencies
- Fragmented knowledge and inconsistent evaluations
- Limited visibility into deployments
- Repeated demands on subject matter experts
- Hazard tech that struggles to reach the frontline
