So far in 2023, Europe has experienced severe flooding in Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, followed by intense heat across the Mediterranean. Predictably, extreme heat turned into devastating wildfires which led to evacuation missions across Greece, Portugal, and Italy (to name just a few countries). With experts assuring us that extreme weather will become more frequent due to climate change[1], finding methods to address or prevent its consequences, such as forest fires, is critical. For years, domestic fires have been tackled using thermal imaging technology; now, thermal cameras are preventing and stopping wildfires.
