Upstream Tech

If you have been affected by LA wildfires, you can reach out to check the status of your home or property — our team will do what we can to help. Our hearts are with those impacted by the devastating wildfires in LA and the brave firefighters and first responders on the front lines. This week, we received requests from individuals seeking updates on the status of their homes amidst the uncertainty. Due to the prevalence of public and commercial satellite imagery coverage of the area, we have been able to provide information through Lens and are available to help provide clarity where we can at no cost to those that need it during this time. Please email eve@upstream.tech to get in touch. ❤️

All this winter weather has us thinking about glaciers! 🏔 ❄️ Glaciers hold the stories of our planet’s past, present, and future—but they’re changing faster than ever.
