Wildfire Detection with SenseNet Release Notes

The Wildfire Detection with SenseNet board integrates advanced sensor and camera networks into WebEOC Nexus to provide early, continuous monitoring of wildfire conditions. By capturing soil moisture, rainfall, temperature, humidity, and air quality metrics alongside visual smoke detection feeds, SenseNet enhances situational awareness and reduces the time from ignition to detection.

This board supports EOCs, emergency managers, corporations, and field responders with actionable data that can be tied directly to WebEOC Nexus records. The combination of environmental sensors, particulate monitoring, and camera-based smoke detection helps identify wildfire threats earlier and with greater accuracy—supporting faster, more coordinated responses.

Key Capabilities

• Environmental monitoring: Track real-time soil moisture, precipitation, temperature, humidity, cloud cover, and slope conditions to assess wildfire risk.

• Air quality and particulate detection: Measure particulates (PM1, PM2.5, PM10, etc.) and gases (CO, CO₂, NO, NO₂, VOCs) to detect wildfire smoke and air quality deterioration.

• Camera integration: Connect to SenseNet camera feeds for automated smoke detection and emergency snapshots, with support for thumbnails, expiration dates, and public sharing links.

• Geospatial context: Associate sensor and camera devices with precise lat/long locations, device groups, and IDs for incident mapping.

• Automated alerts: Generate alerts from device activity or smoke detection events, including acknowledgment workflows and alarm rules.

• Population and risk data: Capture local population, vegetation types, and geographic context (slope, forest types) to better model potential wildfire impact.

• Centralized WebEOC Nexus integration: Store, display, and act on wildfire detection data with a user-friendly WebEOC Nexus workflow and dashboard.

Installation and use of this board requires a license key and the SenseNet Juvare Connector. For assistance, contact Juvare Support.
