Last updated

ALERTCalifornia is a network of more than 1,100 web-connected cameras installed at high-risk wildland sites across the US state of California to help with wildfire detection and response. It is managed by UC San Diego. [1] [2]

A pilot program uses artificial intelligence to detect abnormalities in the feeds and alert local firefighting resources. [3]
