As the impacts of climate change continue to escalate, public and private sector organizations find themselves in urgent need of innovation. Emergency management has been grappling with outdated tools and insufficient tech investment for decades.  Companies such as Pano AI are stepping up to mitigate and better prepare for further crises with a new generation of monitoring, alert, and data analysis tools to help battle fires and other emergencies. 

In this episode of The Restless Ones, I had the chance to speak with Sonia Kastner, founder, and CEO of Pano AI, who is bringing the field of disaster management into the connected age. Pano’s focus is on hardware that utilizes available technologies such as AI, Computer Vision, and 5G connectivity to create an end-to-end real-time solution for both private and public entities fighting fires in their domain.
