Their effects are felt by many communities as people evacuate their homes or suffer harm even from proximity to the fire and smoke. Google Research is applying AI and machine learning (ML) to better understand the Earth's physical processes and enhance our ability to react to natural disasters like wildfires. To this end, our research teams are advancing projects for wildfire boundary tracking and using satellite imagery and ML to detect and monitor wildfires. These projects enable us to share information via Google Search and Google Maps, informing affected communities and helping fire authorities take action.
