ODIN-fire stands for "Open Data Integration framework for wildland fire mitigation".
We are an open source software project that is aimed at creating information systems to combat natural disasters and
our initial focus is on improving situational awareness in the context of wildfires.
ODIN-fire supports creating servers that import a wide range of geospatial data such as weather, fuel and fire sensor reports in near realtime and visualize this data on a 3D virtual globe in a browser. ODIN-fire is not a website. It is a library to create task- and location specific web applications. ODIN-fire servers can run in the cloud, on stakeholder premises or even out in the field.
ODIN-fire is open sourced under Apache v2 license and available on github. The code is written in Rust and Javascript. ODIN-fire has been under development since 2022.
We are a group of current and former NASA employees who want to bring technology to bear in order to curb
the ever increasing threat from natural disasters. We want to become a true community project in which all individuals,
research organizations and companies who share this goal can participate to create an open platform that is
free and accessible for all stakeholders.
Stakeholders are both users and providers. Users are more than firefighters - we especially want to give local communities and organizations that are most threatened the information to assess and mitigate those threats. Providers are more than the framework developers - they include companies offering sensors or data products and research organizations inventing new models. In short, we want ODIN-fire to be the common ground for all these groups.
