Trends have shown that wildland fire seasons are growing longer and fires are continuing to increase in total area and size. Simultaneously, remote sensing technologies continue to advance and are being used more and more to aid emergency responders. The American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) Pacific Southwest (PSW) Region invites you to participate in its second series that aims to explore the myriad ways that remote sensing can support wildfire preparedness, active incidents, and future management.
Intended Audience
Wildland firefighting community
Remote sensing & research community
Public and private environmental and forestry businesses
Utility companies and agencies
Educators and champions to share the benefits and uses of remote sensing technologies
Intended Outcome
Bring the remote sensing and wildland fire communities together
Discuss current operational wildland firefighting tactics and related remote sensing technologies, including existing workflows, incremental improvements, and leading-edge research and technologies
Better educate community members regarding available remote sensing data sources, offerings, and capabilities
Enable discussions that lead to the creation of more usable remote sensing products for use before, during, and after wildfires, through networking opportunities, panel discussions, and brokered discussions
