InSAR Satellite Data Collection

Statewide Fire Mitigation Strategy; for statewide InSAR Satellite data collection to identify high fire potential due to dry vegetation and slope stability issues; Request General Funds (MOF A) for the acquisition, processing, and integration of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) satellite data to enhance wildfire prevention and risk assessment. InSAR technology enables precise monitoring of ground deformation and elevation changes, which can reveal soil moisture loss, vegetation stress, and slope movement. By combining InSAR data with optical and thermal imagery, Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) satellite data can identify areas where dry vegetation and unstable terrain create high risk areas. The resulting data will support targeted mitigation measures, improve resource allocation, and reduce wildfire and post-fire landslide risks.
