Advanced Community Protection
By analyzing historical data meshed with live environmental sensor data that encompass your geographical region, Perch can regularly assess a wide range of metrics to determine the likelihood of an ignition event as well as the potential spread of the wildfire. Together, these two items help provide early warning to individuals and authorities.
Whether at the household or community level, Perch analyzes what actions can be taken to reduce both the impact and likelihood of a wildfire. This includes unique continuous recommendations to aid home hardening and bolster your defensible space along with other educational recommendations, because prevention is not one-and-done.
Connecting people with community resources such as homeowner grants, wildfire mitigation non-profit organizations, and more to provide a layer of assurance before, during, and after a wildfire incident. In doing this, we help establish relationships between homeowners, community members, and their wildfire safety community.
Wildfires Destroying Our Communities
THE PROBLEM
While the majority of news headlines cover wildfires caused and exacerbated by electrical utility companies, the reality is that most incidents are caused by people or weather. Among the list of impacted areas by wildfires are the wildland urban interface, or WUI, which are locations where structures and communities meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland. These communities are vulnerable, at constant risk of burning, and impact the most human lives. At Perch Sensing Inc., we are working to develop a solution to mitigate the risks associated with living in these high-fire risk regions.
