Prevent Big Fire App
High-Level Project Summary
Our project is a great tool to map areas suitable for potential fire spots.It is an application (for website and smartphone) that presents, in real time, on the home screen, a map showing cities that have the temperature, relative air humidity and wind speed within the reference values, listed in scientific articles as values of risk that provide the spread of fires.We seek to help authorities to act in order to prevent major disasters caused by the burning of forests and, consequently, help people, animals and plants not to experience environmental injustices caused by the fire.We use, in principle, Google Collaboration and Python Language.

Detailed Project Description
Our project is a great tool to map areas suitable for potential fire spots.
It is an application (for website and smartphone) that presents, in real time, on the home screen, a map showing cities that have the temperature, relative air humidity and wind speed within the reference values, listed in scientific articles as values of risk that provide the spread of fires.
We seek to help authorities to act in order to prevent major disasters caused by the burning of forests and, consequently, help people, animals and plants not to experience environmental injustices caused by the fire.
We use, in principle, Google Collaboration, a tool for
free cloud service hosted by Google itself to encourage Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence research.
The programming language used was Python.
The data used to test the prototype were two csv files made available by the National Institute of Meteorology - INMET, one of NASA's cooperators in international programs.
Space Agency Data
To develop our solution, we researched NASA sites like Global Climate Change as well as Space Agency partner sites.
The most specific data we used were meteorological data collected through automatic stations, and made available by the National Institute of Meteorology - INMET, an institute that collaborates with NASA in international programs.
Hackathon Journey
We researched NASA sites such as Global Climate Change, as well as Space Agency partner sites, where we could verify that there are many fire spots in Brazil and in the world, which left us scared and excited by the problem of large fires, encouraging us us to reflect and seek solutions to help prevent this great evil that affects so many people, animals, forests.
Our experience in this hackaton was wonderful. We learned a lot of cool things, like design thinking, to develop our solution with empathy, we learned to work as a team, we met very nice people. What inspired us was the research we did on NASA sites such as Global Climate Change, as well as Space Agency partner sites, where we could see that there are many fires in Brazil and the world, which left us scared and excited by the problem of large fires, encouraging us to reflect and seek solutions to help prevent this great evil that affects so many people, animals, the forests. We tried to overcome lack of energy, internet crash, sleep, but we managed to complete our solution with a lot of struggle. We would like to thank Takaki, Miro, the mentors and, above all, Nasa for coming to Brazil.
