ALERTCalifornia
ALERTCalifornia is a public safety organization based at University of California San Diego that provides state-of-the-art technology that supports data-driven decisions to prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters. ALERTCalifornia is working to understand wildfires and other natural hazards and determine short and long-term impacts on people and the environment to inform management decisions.
The state-focused program manages a growing network of more than 1,100 monitoring cameras and sensor arrays, and collects data that provides actionable, real-time information to inform public safety. In addition to the camera network, and in response to increasingly frequent and severe climate-driven disasters, ALERTCalifornia is prioritizing novel data collection and research. These data are shared with fellow institutions and partners.
