This week turned our focus to our prototype, which we aim to have completed in the beginning-middle of November. With our new findings in data sources in previous weeks, we are on track to having a model that can predict the likelihood of a fire.

Our CS team is hard at work creating visualizations of the data we currently have in order to demonstrate proof-of-concept. They are also starting the framework for our predictive model! Our Biological team is continuing to research for new, relevant sources of data so that the model can make the predictions as accurately as possible. They are also working with the CS team to transfer over the data we do have now.

This will be a couple of busy upcoming weeks, but it will be worth it to have a predictive prototype. Check back for updates on our progress!
