Draft:AlertCalifornia

AlertCalifornia is a fire confirmation system involving a network of over 1,080[1] mountaintop cameras, largely replacing California's previous system of occupied fire lookout towers. Footage from these cameras are routinely used by news agencies in reference to natural disasters and hazardous events. The system is run by University of California, San Diego in partnership with Calfire, DigitalPath, and a number of public utility, state, and federal organizations.

The project features a public webpage with live camera feeds and archive of still images which have been to train a machine learning system prompting emergency workers to inspect automatically identify anomalies.[2]
