Disaster experts are advocating for increased funding to develop new technologies for firefighting in Australia. Innovations such as drones, AI-powered detection systems, and remote sensors are transforming how fires are managed. The goal is to detect and extinguish fires early to prevent them from escalating into catastrophic events.
AI technologies like the NSW Rural Fire Service's Athena software are crucial for analyzing vast amounts of data to predict fire behavior. Additionally, scout drones and water gliders are being tested to enhance rapid response capabilities. Experts emphasize the need for a multi-faceted approach to effectively combat the growing threat of wildfires.
