Also I am humbled every week at how far we are from getting cloud-optimized datasets and workflows widely implemented to make working with the data easy. I think I am going to start recording the types of super valid/basic questions students ask... haven't quite found the right amount of abstraction

It's been a long time and I think the new high-resolution version has even more fields but I used only a subset of fields necessary to calculate upstream inflows and general catchment boundaries. Not sure if what's on the GEE catalog is helpful: gee-community-catalog.org/projects/nhd...

The surge in wildfire disasters that wipe whole towns, neighborhoods, and suburbs off the map is simply not sustainable (for so very many reasons). We see this through wholesale collapse of communities & mass displacement, though skyrocketing rents & imploding insurance markets.

A ‘dangerously unacceptable breakdown’ led to errant or delayed evacuation warnings in LA County. The rest of the US isn’t immune | CNN
Myriad problems have plagued Los Angeles County’s alert system as wildfires torch America’s most populous county. But the fiascos highlight vulnerabilities nationwide.

We can respectfully disagree - I do not have the energy or interest to argue arbitrarily on the internet right now.

No information of where an active raging fire is for 12+ hours in a densely populated wildland urban interface seems like a failure to me. And if you’ve never waited up for 48 hours refreshing every news and map to see if you lost everything - you might have a different opinion.

The fire started about 12 hours before reaching our home, there were no updates for 6 hours before burning. We listened to the warnings and left but some people did not and lost their life, many others stayed much longer not knowing where the fire was at hoping to save their homes.

Hi Dominic thank you - I’m aware of those data sources. If you read the blog post my focus is real time and commercial imagery providers. Unfortunately NASA FIRMS dashboard and Sentinel products are not meeting the on the ground information need.

It’s hard to not think of work in all of this - and all I can say is that geospatial community folks we have a lot to do to make data and info free and readily available during times of crisis. Knowing useful data was there and not able to access was 💔
