Space Apps Challenge 2017

Team F5 provides a quick and objective solution to fire-related disasters.

The number of fires in the world is increasing every year, in 2015 alone in Brazil were recorded 1349 fire events, an average of 112 fires per month ..

It is a problem that affects the entire region, in the urban area the problems mainly involve population health, exposure to smoke can cause problems in the airways such as rhinitis, cough throat irritation, bronchitis and asthma, eye problems such as conjunctivitis. In the rural / forest area, the fires cause the devastation of the fauna and the typical flora of the place. Thinking of helping the population about the outbreaks of fire, the F5 team brought the FireAttencion APP.

The idea of this application consists of, from data collected by

satellite, informing the population when there is some kind of fire near

their homes, guiding them to a safe evacuation avoiding disasters. And

also inform a fire department of the nearest fire department, also

showing the safest route to reach the site and act quickly avoiding

further damage to the environment and living things.
