Burned Area Intelligence FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A quick guide to what Burned Area Intelligence can show, how often it can be updated and how the results should be used.
1What is Earth's AI Burned Area Intelligence?
Earth's AI Burned Area Intelligence uses satellite observations to map areas affected by fire and support post-event assessment.
2What does Burned Area Intelligence monitor or analyse?
It can identify likely burned extent, compare pre- and post-fire conditions and support spatial summaries of affected land.
3What data does Burned Area Intelligence use?
The workflow uses optical and, where configured, radar Earth observation data together with vegetation and land-cover context.
4How often can Burned Area Intelligence be updated?
Updates can follow new satellite acquisitions after a fire. Cloud-free optical imagery usually gives the clearest post-fire assessment, while radar can add context when clouds persist.
5How should Burned Area Intelligence results be used?
Use the results for screening, prioritisation and situational awareness. Burned-area mapping does not by itself determine ecological severity, cause or liability.
