Key innovations include the "Painel de Inteligência SP Sem Fogo" (SP Without Fire Intelligence Panel), a platform developed by Civil Defense that integrates meteorological data, incident records, risk maps, and real-time monitoring systems using artificial intelligence. The state is also utilizing Waze navigation data and a network of cameras to accelerate response times to forest fires.
