The Problem

Incident commanders synthesize dozens of disconnected sources under extreme time pressure.

When a wildfire ignites, emergency managers must simultaneously track fire behavior, weather, terrain, road conditions, and evacuation status — across fragmented tools, radio channels, and spreadsheets. Every minute of delay compounds risk.

Our Solution

AmberAI unifies all critical wildfire data into a single AI-powered tactical dashboard. Five specialized Claude AI agents analyze fire conditions in parallel — wind, fuel, terrain, hydrology, and community risk — and a supervisor agent synthesizes their outputs into unified 6, 12, and 24-hour spread forecasts, streamed live to the map.
