Published purpose
The objective of this Project is to address a gap in the technology currently used in the management and reporting of Wildfire weather in the Maritime provinces. New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia require improvements to enhance their weather reporting capabilities. The new system will enhance the quality of weather data, produce several tabular reports, maps, and implement GIS capabilities to inform the public and other agencies of current and forecast fire hazard, for days at a time. This technology will better increase the ability of agencies to better manage the risk associated with wildfires and other natural hazards.
