OroraTech, a leader in orbital wildfire intelligence and Earth Fire Alliance (EFA), a global nonprofit committed to delivering data and insights from all wildfires on Earth, announced a new partnership aimed at transforming access to wildfire data for responders worldwide. The partnership brings together advanced, space-based thermal detection and monitoring capabilities from both organisations, creating unmatched actionable wildfire intelligence. By combining data and efforts, OroraTech and EFA will empower agencies across the globe with real-time wildfire detection, monitoring and mitigation insights. This partnership advances the organisations’ common missions by launching initial services as soon as possible with a focus on non-governmental organisation (NGO)-led fire management efforts in regions such as Kruger National Park in South Africa and conservation areas across the African continent.
“This partnership embodies the next evolution in EFA’s mission, as we aim to not only collect world-class wildfire data but to connect local action to global datasets through robust partnerships,” said EFA Executive Director Brian Collins.
“That connection gives worldwide wildfire intelligence a new momentum. Our partnership empowers decision-makers at every level with timely, actionable insights that change outcomes in extreme wildfires," said Dr Martin Langer, CEO & CTO of OroraTech.
OroraTech and EFA will partner in two primary areas where they can collectively make a difference in the impact of wildfire across the planet: EFA will help NGOs and under-resourced communities and geographies around the world access data and tools from both EFA and OroraTech and the two organisations will explore the development of combined wildfire intelligence offerings that integrate EFA FireSat constellation data with OroraTech orbital FOREST network and processing and delivery systems.
By enabling access to state-of-the-art detection, monitoring and prediction tools, OroraTech and EFA are helping communities develop more effective integrated fire management practices.
