Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article presents the development of an information system tailored for predicting and managing forest fires in Kazakhstan. The system's primary objective is to establish an information portal dedicated to fire forecasting, enhancing the accuracy of predictions and timely warnings. To achieve this, the system focuses on tasks such as predicting the likelihood of forest and steppe fires, monitoring environmental changes in real-time, and visualising the current situation on maps. It also generates comprehensive reports detailing fire risk, available resources, and necessary measures. Users will receive alerts about potential fire threats, facilitating rapid response. The system's data analysis incorporates geographical and climatic factors for precise forecasting. The ultimate goal is to significantly reduce the environmental and economic impact of forest fires in the country, emphasising the creation of a versatile platform for swift emergency response, integrating modern technologies into practical use. The practical significance encompasses improved fire warnings, enhanced safety for both the population and nature, and a reduction in economic losses. The accompanying website serves as a dynamic platform to collect, analyse, and visualise real-time data on disasters and crises, providing users with geographic information, maps, and reports crucial for making informed decisions during emergency situations.
