Problem
Wildfires pose a significant threat, causing extensive damage to homes, ecosystems, and human lives, with projected damages reaching trillions of dollars in the coming decades. Current forestry practices struggle to implement fuel treatments at the necessary scale and speed to effectively mitigate wildfire risk and promote forest health. Traditional methods of project preparation and data collection are time-consuming and expensive, hindering the ability to manage large landscapes proactively.
Solution
Earth Force Technologies offers a technology platform that enables precision fuel treatments at landscape scale, minimizing time-consuming project preparation and accelerating larger projects. The platform utilizes precision sensors and an in-cabin tablet called Guide, providing operators with real-time maps, alerts, and tree-level insights to ensure prescriptions are met and boundaries observed. The Portal web application automates field reporting, enabling administrators to oversee exponentially more acres while staying close to ground-truth. By bringing field data to key stakeholders, Earth Force Technologies helps scale capacity and increase transparency in forest management.
