Wildfire Bot (WA/OR)-Unofficial 🔥🤖

64% wanted navigational/road views, 36% for satellite. Therefore, the bots have been updated to show navigational/road views in the detailed maps in v3.7.0. Thanks for your input!

Do you prefer fire maps with a navigational view, or a satellite imagery view? Navigational views are clearer, but imagery views show where vegetation is. #gis #wildfires

The @USGS GeoMAC servers that the firebots rely on appear to be going down intermittently for the last ~half hour. When the govt data returns, the bots will automatically start posting again. Sorry - not much we can do.

The bots will be down for a day or two for some upgrades.

PSA: In general, satellite readings and perimeter data are not real-time. They are often at least 12 hours and sometimes many days old. Do not use them as an excuse not to evacuate.

Is there a new feature or data source you'd like to see posted by our unofficial wildfire bots? Let us know here. (Note: government sources only, please)

Help create an open directory of the Twitter accounts of fire and police departments here: github.com/publicdocs/wildfi… - it lets us map individual fires to the most relevant social media feeds - cc @CEDRdigital @pjdohertygis @MappingSupport @cs_rescue
