GeoAcuity Featured in ESRI User Story for Wildfire Analytics

ESRI USER STORY: In the summer of 2020, two devastating wildfires in Northern California burned thousands of acres, destroying structures and endangering countless homes and lives. The North Complex Fire that burned in Butte and Plumas counties and the CZU Lightning Complex Fires in San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties were devastating wildfires that required a prompt and organized response from local emergency response teams. To assess damage from the fires and aid in response efforts, law enforcement needed a better way to view the area.

Drones are increasingly becoming an important part of disaster response and can help with a range of response efforts, including providing rapid situational awareness for emergency personnel and creating maps of impacted areas. In response to the aforementioned fires, GeoAcuity was tasked with obtaining aerial images of the impacted areas captured using drone technology. GeoAcuity is a geospatial consulting firm focused on providing high-quality solutions to the environmental, municipal, and federal government sectors.
