- Signet autonomously tracks wildfires using satellite detections, thermal imagery, and weather data across the continental US.
- It continuously processes NASA FIRMS detections, GOES-19 imagery, and environmental data without human intervention.
- Multimodal reasoning correlates thermal imagery with geographic and environmental data to analyze fire patterns and behavior.
- Signet uses data from NWS, USGS, LANDFIRE, Census, OpenStreetMap, and web context for fire assessment.
- Technical architecture includes structured storage of raw data, interpreted observations, and live feed updates.
- Signet is not a substitute for official emergency information and should not be used for evacuation decisions.
- AI-generated assessments may contain errors; official cross-checking relies on NIFC IMSR, which may miss smaller incidents.
- Signet provides wildfire alerts based on satellite heat detections near user-specified areas.
