The south got hit hard with tornados overnight and the panhandle of Florida took some serious damage. I've been down there during a tornado and it's insane... I've been to the aftermath of an EF-3 tornado and it's humbling and an experience I'll never forget. In 2020, we acquired a decade old niche manufacturer of FEMA Compliant Storm Shelters, Tornado Shelters, and Safe Rooms. If you're not familiar with a Storm Shelter, it's a device designed, engineered, and actually tested to withstand and EF-5 tornado (the worst). The one in Florida wasn't anywhere close to the power, wind speed, and damage caused by an EF-5 tornado. The business fit our thesis because its innovative technology that serves a regulated industry AND it solves a safety and compliance problem. It saves lives. In January 2024, the regulations changes and RemainSafe is one of a few mfgs to have meet the latest FEMA and ICC compliance standards...

There are many efforts underway to reduce the ignition of wildfires, but we'll never be able to prevent them all. Technologies like Pano AI's cameras are critical to quickly detecting the first signs of smoke so that the fire can be rapidly addressed before it turns into a megafire. The story below is a great example of collaboration, and how public and private stakeholders all need to work together to reduce the impact of this increasingly dangerous threat.
It was a Red Flag Warning day with high temperatures and low humidity when a sudden lighting strike ignited a fire on the remote north side of Bennett Mountain in Douglas County, CO. Within minutes, the Pano AI system detected smoke, provided video confirming it as wildfire and triangulated coordinates from two camera stations - one from CORE Electric Cooperative and one from Xcel Energy. The Douglas County Office of Emergency Management, seeing the triangulation and video intelligence, initiated a Helitack and rapid initial attack. A crew of 40 from the County and the USDA Forest Service hiked for nearly two and half hours to reach the site while helicopters dropped 17,000 gallons of water to fully contain the fire at three acres. The quick response kept this high risk fire from progressing to what could have been a fast-moving, large-scale fire. Together, CORE and Xcel Energy will have 48 stations live in Colorado in the coming months along with a dozen more from other local governments and enterprises for a total of 60. This collaborative effort enhances the precision and effectiveness of wildfire detection and response, significantly benefiting the communities they serve.
