The Mappyist Hour - The State The State The State is on Fire

As fires continue to ravage California, Tee and Silas bring in expert David Jones from TechnoSilva to explain the critical role of GIS in wildfire response. From printing paper maps for firefighters in the field to using satellite imagery for real-time heat detection, this episode covers the full spectrum of emergency management technology. The trio also discusses the challenges of predicting fire behavior, the impact of population growth on fire risk, and why "pot-hole" insurance might be the next big thing.
