Published on July 30, 2024
The US administration is enhancing early wildfire detection using satellite technology to protect western communities. An agreement between the Department of the Interior, USDA’s Forest Service, and NOAA will use data from the NOAA GOES-R satellites for rapid wildfire detection. Funded by a $20 million investment from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, this initiative aims to improve detection speed and accuracy.
This effort is part of the administration Investing in America agenda, which allocates $5 billion for wildfire preparedness. The GOES-R satellite data provides early detection, detailed wildfire condition information, and real-time tracking. This initiative aligns with recommendations from the Wildland Fire Mitigation and Management Commission to enhance detection systems and collaboration.
