Pano AI: Using Data to Mitigate Natural Disasters

Pano AI is a company that aims to mitigate the damage caused by natural disasters, starting with wildfires. By mounting cameras on remote mountaintop towers, Pano sends panoramic images to an AI model trained to detect smoke. This early detection system alerts fire crews, allowing them to respond quickly and prevent fires from spreading. Pano's customers include utility companies and firefighting agencies across the Western US and Australia. The company's mission extends beyond wildfires, seeking to use data to mitigate various climate-driven disasters like floods, hurricanes, and more.
