Wildfires pose a significant threat across many regions of Africa, impacting ecosystems, communities, and economies. The Africa FireShield Initiative is developing an AI-driven platform that integrates satellite imagery, weather data, and vegetation indices to provide early warnings and risk assessments for wildfires.
By predicting potential fire outbreaks and spread patterns, the system aims to support proactive mitigation strategies, resource allocation for firefighting, and community preparedness efforts, ultimately enhancing resilience against wildfire disasters.
