Long-term impacts of non-occupational wildfire exposure on human health: A systematic review.

Environmental Pollution, 2023
The intensity and frequency of wildfires is increasing globally. The systematic review of the current evidence on long-term impacts of non-occupational wildfire exposure on human health has not been performed yet.

Resilient Expansion Planning of Electricity Grid Under Prolonged Wildfire Risk

IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, 2023
Public safety power shut-off (PSPS) during potentially dangerous weather conditions is an emergency measure within areas prone to wildfires. While balancing the risk of wildfire ignition and the continuation of energy supply is a short-term operation ...

A review on early wildfire detection from unmanned aerial vehicles using deep learning-based computer vision algorithms

Signal Processing, 2021
Wildfire is one of the most critical natural disasters that threaten wildlands and forest resources. Traditional firefighting systems, which are based on ground crew inspection, have several limits and can expose firefighters’ lives to danger.

Wildfire

Proceedings of the 2016 International Conference on Management of Data, 2016
We demonstrate Hybrid Transactional and Analytics Processing (HTAP) on the Spark platform by the Wildfire prototype, which can ingest up to ~6 million inserts per second per node and simultaneously perform complex SQL analytics queries. Here, a simplified mobile application uses Wildfire to recommend advertising to mobile customers based upon their ...

Wildfires

2009
Fire is currently recognized as one of the major natural hazards of the Mediterranean basin. In an average year the total burnt area in the whole basin is around 600,000 hectares, the product of approximately 50,000 fires. The estimated annual cost is around 775 million Euros (FAO 2001). Official data on casualties due to fires are often not available,
