The GISTDA is continuing to develop its application called FAIPA, “Forest Fire” in English, to notify hotspots at the sub-district, district, and provincial levels, using real-time or near real-time satellite data for primary users, including agencies like the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, volunteer groups, and local residents. The application provides nationwide hotspot data, including those in ASEAN countries, and allows users to view historical data around the clock.
prevention. The app uses data from satellites to detect hot spots in real time. It can then send alerts to users, such as government agencies, volunteer groups, and members of the public. The app has been designed to enhance surveillance efficiency across all sectors and keep track of the situation day by day.
The app is available for free on both Android and iOS devices. It can be used to view hot spots across Thailand, as well as in other countries in Southeast Asia. The app also provides information on the location and size of hot spots, as well as the weather conditions in the area.
GISTDA believes that the app will help to improve the early detection and response to wildfires. It also aims to raise awareness of the dangers of wildfires and the importance of fire.
