Australia’s fire landscape is evolving fires are igniting in new locations, burning with greater intensity, and challenging traditional response strategies. The increasing frequency of dry lightning ignitions and extreme fire weather is pushing emergency services and land managers to their limits. Traditional detection and suppression methods are no longer enough. So, how do we adapt?
Join Rob Vernon from Fire Foresight as we explore how AI-powered fire detection, real-time fuel monitoring, and digital decision support tools are transforming bushfire resilience. We’ll share insights from our work across Australia and our journey in the XPRIZE Wildfire competition, where we are competing to detect and respond to wildfires anywhere in the world within 10 minutes. This session is a must-attend for fire agencies, land managers, and policymakers looking to integrate next-generation technology into bushfire preparedness and response.
