Previsico’s Post

Down to the O2 & Insurtech Insights tomorrow to talk about managing flood risk and sharing customer stories from National Grid, Zurich and Liberty.

Beyond ecological disasters impacting ecosystems, communities, and economies, the exacerbation of forest fires due to climate change has allowed technology to emerge as a crucial ally in the fight against this growing global threat. Artificial Intelligence (#AI) and the Internet of Things (#IoT) are radically transforming the prevention and management of forest fires, from forecasting to real-time response. https://lnkd.in/eG_PCuhP #iot #InternetOfThings #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #ecosystems #fires #environment #technologies #innovation #monitoring #prevention EDGAR SALAS Fernando Guzman Espinosa Carlos Fernando Galan David Luna AZLOGICA IoT

The World Water-Tech Innovation Summit is back in London next week! 💧 Previsico's Forecasting and Monitoring Specialist Lewis Seale will be there on the Wednesday 21st February among many global disruptors in the water sector. The summit aims to accelerate collaboration, investment, and innovation through some of their key themes of smart asset monitoring, adaptation & mitigation and flooding. If you're also attending, feel free to contact Lewis or say hi and hear about how Previsico works with water and utility companies to minimise their water risks and monitor catchments using Previsico’s Flood Warning Service. #climate #risk #climatechange #flood #insurance #tech #weather #resilience #predict #prevent #floodimpacts #sensorsolutions #IoT #floodmodelling #surfacewater #forecasting #technology

Hawke's Bay Regional Council (HBRC) has implemented Adroit’s advanced environmental monitoring technology to bolster its flood preparedness and response, particularly benefiting rural communities. This initiative leverages Adroit's real-time flood detection and water level monitoring solutions to provide real-time data, enhancing operational efficiency and community safety. By embracing these innovative solutions, HBRC is better equipped to protect its communities from climate-related challenges, ensuring a safer and more resilient future for the region. VEGA radar sensors are a key component of this system. This non-contact radar using 80 GHz technology delivers high measurement accuracy unaffected by environmental changes - with little to no maintenance requirements. These sensors can be installed on bridges, dams, and other critical infrastructure to continuously monitor water levels and alert authorities to potential flooding risks via the Adroit App. Installed with Iridium satellite connectivity ensures data reliability even during severe weather events.

🌍 Protecting our planet is more crucial than ever, especially in regions like Brazil, where 66% of the territory is protected and preserved. Of this, 25.6% (218,245,801 hectares as of 2018) is dedicated to the preservation of native vegetation. 🌳https://lnkd.in/eRKd9RWh At Lacuna Space, we are proud to offer satellite IoT infrastructure that can revolutionise such monitoring and protection. Our technology enables effective monitoring of deforestation activities, wildfire detection, wildlife tracking, and more.

World Forestry Day, also known as International Day of Forests, is celebrated on March 21 each year. The day aims to promote the sustainable management, conservation, and development of all types of forests for the benefit of current and future generations. The theme for World Forestry Day 2024 is “Forests and innovation: new solutions for a better world.” Advanced smart fire monitoring systems such as AIRWINGSplus solution by WINGS ICT Solutions form an integral part of a city’s fire management strategy. AIRWINGSplus is a comprehensive technology solution, which combines Internet of Things (IoT), cellular connectivity and Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the live monitoring, measurement, and management of wildfires. More specifically it offers: -Live monitoring and protection of forests - Preventing Megafires. -Wildfire early warning based on heterogeneous information. -Alerting of Fire Service (fire extinguishing can be carried out timely). -Air quality, Smoke, Sun radiation, Cameras, Meteorological, UVA & UVB, Rain Gauge, Solar Irradiance, Wind Speed/Direction sensors. -Aerial Surveying via state-of-the-art drones. -Capabilities for ingesting satellite data. -Wildfire degree of danger rating at micro-scale (scale at the range of 1 km). -Fire impact monitoring and progress of restoration. In conclusion, by prioritizing and adopting innovative solutions, we can create safer and more resilient urban environments for the future generations. #WorldForestryDay2024 #fireprevention #firedetection #AI #IoT #SmartCities #SmartCitiesLivableCities

The news does not lie - Temperatures are soaring in Brazil as minister declares ‘war’ with fire as smoke cloaks Brasília and São Paulo. Brazil has suffered from severe wildfires this year caused by extreme heat. These outbreaks are becoming more and more frequent, and the country needs to turn to technology to proactively prevent them before they start. I wanted to shine a light on a Brazilian climate tech company called Umgrauemeio that has developed a system that can detect the precise location of a small heat source within 3 minutes of it appearing, even from kms away. The system generates an alert to mobilise firefighting teams. Learn more about how IoT and AI are being used together to stop wildfires from breaking out: https://okt.to/5rl0yx

Here's an in-depth article by Environment+Energy Leader featuring our cutting-edge wildfire detection technology! 🔥 Dryad is pioneering the future of wildfire prevention with Silvanet, our ultra-early detection system designed to save forests and lives. Our CEO, Carsten Brinkschulte, discusses how our solar-powered gas sensors, embedded AI, and extensive IoT network are revolutionizing forest management. The article gets to grips with some key features of Silvanet: - Ultra-Early Detection: Our sensors detect wildfires during their early smoldering phase, providing crucial time for response. - Environmental Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of forest health, including temperature, humidity, and air pressure. - AI Integration: Advanced AI ensures high accuracy in fire detection, minimizing false positives. - Sustainable Power: Solar-powered and maintenance-free for up to 15 years, our sensors are eco-friendly and reliable. - Scalability: Our mesh network covers expansive forest areas, ensuring comprehensive protection. Our technology dramatically reduces firefighting costs, minimizes economic damage, and lowers insurance risks. By focusing on early detection, we protect both natural and human-made assets.

Urban Digital Twins and Climate Change Dear followers this is reflecting my personal opinion Natural disasters cost the world $250 billion in 2023. Less than half of those losses were covered by insurers, according to data compiled by Munich Re. – source: Munich Re / Bloomberg Zero - January 9, 2024 This is really alarming – imagine that Hurricane Katrina did cause damages up to $125 billion that time As the planet warms there are more extraordinary natural disaster to be expected in future therefore cities worldwide should be prepared for it Please feel free to learn more https://hxgn.biz/3q3c6xY
