DRYADS is an advanced AI-powered platform designed for the early detection and risk assessment of wildfires in the greater Athens area. The platform will utilize various data sources, including Google EIE datasets, satellite imagery, weather data, sensors and real time area video streams to identify anthropogenic environmental risk factors, monitor fire outbreaks and predict fire evolution in real time. By providing early warnings and comprehensive risk assessments, DRYADS aims to mitigate the impact of wildfires on natural landscapes and communities and increase cities’ resilience.
