This petition is to call on the governor of California and California legislature to immediately begin investing in automated drone technologies that can detect wildfires through infrared, use swarm strategies to contain them, and put them out before they cause billions of dollars of damage and a major public health crises with unbreathable air and people suffocating for hundreds of square miles. It's the 21st century. We can split atoms, land a man on the moon, and create self-driving cars and virtual realities, why can we still not control something as simple as a wildfire?
Why is this important?
For too long Californians have had to endure with wildfires burning down hundreds of thousands of homes and destroying people's lives, even though we have technologies that can prevent this. This petition calls for California's legislature to pass a bill that would invest in automated firefighting technologies to prevent these disasters from happening.
