Hangar Alpha LLC is developing Cornea in consultation with federal state county and localresponders.Cornea is a data service for wildland fire planning response and recovery. We applydata science to the management of wildfires by combining real-time situational awareness withpredictive analytics to inform where people should be so we can save lives and reduce costs.
Cornea advocates for relevant data for each user customized to and by the decisions they need tomake. Our data-fusion model connects disparate data silos across applications and databases. Weprocess them along with historical and real-time data in a dynamic way. We fundamentally believecomputational statistics and mathematical models can facilitate better strategic resource allocationand shared knowledge of potential effectiveness across organizational silos. But to be effective thedisplay of information must be relevant understandable timely and actionable for the end-user.Cornea provides computer-driven decision-support insights and tools that combine experts'knowledge and experience with data science artificial intelligence and machine learning to informfirst responders and emergency planners before during and after disaster strikes to save lives andreduce costs. Through improved data collection and partnerships with experts and researchersCornea's machine-learning techniques can support better decision making in managing wildlandfires.
We have developed the necessary infrastructure and expertise to aggregate fuels weather andtopography data to create these PCLs in Cornea. In this proposal we propose novel changes to thedevelopment of PCLs to make them more accurate more interpretable and more easily deployedfor pre-season planning and real-time incident management.
