The Maestro telemetry system predicts forest fire risk based on geolocated weather data collected by sensor nodes. Sensor nodes provide a low-cost solution to reliably monitor the microclimate of forested areas and to correlate the current conditions with possible prolonged drought. In case of fire, nodes fall into emergency mode by transmitting more frequent measurements to support real-time prediction of how the fire spreads, for effectively managing the available firefighting forces and for implementing appropriate population evacuation plans.
