WildfireWatch
Track soil moisture to determine wildfire susceptibility
In times of drought and reduced soil moisture, vegetation reacts by retaining water. Then, that vegetation heats up, further increasing wildfire risk. We can use vegetation temperature as a surrogate measure for wildfire susceptibility.
WildfireWatch is our digital service that uses NASA’s ECOSTRESS Evaporative Stress Index to get accurate vegetation temperature readings anywhere on the globe. We can provide updated wildfire risk assessments so you can monitor small and large parcels of land.

WildfireWatch provides accurate vegetation temperature readings within two degrees Celsius.
We can provide temperature readings every 1 to 4 days to closely monitor wildfire susceptibility.
WildfireWatch can get accurate readings anywhere on Earth.
There is a multidecadal archive of thermal infrared (TIR) data for time series trend analyses

When they were concerned about the wildfire threat on their line’s right\u002Dof\u002Dway, we used WildfireWatch to give them reliable and consistent vegetation temperature readings along the entirety of the line. We used historical TIR data to establish baseline conditions and compared to new TIR data to give Hetch Hetchy a full picture of their wildfire risk and susceptibility.",
