Recovery program teams
The work you need to do
Give recovery teams a clearer inspection brief.
01
Acquire an event data package
Find suitable observations before and after the event, with actual capture times and quality information. Request new collection when an available service fits the follow-up window.
What you take away
A source package for post-event assessment
02
Review observed fire effects
Compare suitable imagery and burn products alongside management units and assets. Keep active-fire detections distinct from mapped burned areas and confirmed field findings.
What you take away
A dated impact review and inspection shortlist
03
Follow rehabilitation sites
Compare later observations with the baseline and intervention records. Identify changes and missing evidence that help the team plan repeat inspections and progress reporting.
What you take away
Recovery comparisons linked to field assessments
01 / Acquire the data
Order for your location. Specify what matters.
Define an acquisition request for any event location. Match available products to the event period, required detail and the post-fire assessment your team needs.
Event area & review units
Provide the area of interest, management boundaries and relevant assets. Specify whether the work concerns broad fire effects, individual sites or restoration units.
Before, after & recovery periods
Define baseline dates, the event window and subsequent review seasons. Separate observation time from processing and delivery dates when comparing available products.
Measurements & viewing conditions
Request appropriate spectral bands and product quality information. Check cloud, smoke, illumination, useful spatial detail and the conditions needed by the chosen comparison.
Delivery & assessment use
Specify files and metadata for your assessment tools or project. Review license permissions, total costs, delivery timing and any new collection acceptance terms.
Optical and multispectral
Published fire and burn products
Terrain and elevation
Asset and field-assessment records
Just need the data? Acquiring it is a complete outcome. Use delivered files in your own tools where the license permits, or continue with analysis and apps in Milkypad.
02 / Run your own analysis
Prepare a post-fire inspection package
Ask the assistant for a dated comparison, then use field assessments to prioritize recovery work.
01
Set the assessment scope
Add the event area, management units and assets. Define the reporting question and what the inspection team needs to review on the ground.
02
Assemble suitable observations
Review pre-event and post-event coverage. Keep active-fire detections, burn-area products and original observations separately identified, with their acquisition times.
03
Inspect the comparison
Explore measured spectral differences with terrain, vegetation and quality context. Join assets for exposure review while retaining separate fields for confirmed damage.
04
Plan the next review
Export an inspection package or create a recovery app. Add field findings and request comparable later observations to review rehabilitation sites.
A proposed app organizing event observations, inspection findings and recovery reviews by management unit.

03 / Use an app
Plan assessment and recovery visits
A review app can link observed effects to inspection findings and later recovery observations. This is an assessment example, not emergency guidance.

Illustrative app brief
Build a post-fire review app with before-and-after maps, separate fire-product layers and an inspection list. Link field assessments and later observations to each management unit.
Describe the tool and the changes you need in ordinary language. The AI assistant helps build it; colleagues use the resulting maps, tables, and controls without writing code.
Dated source observations and interpreted fire effects with quality limitations.
Inspection briefing
Review locations, nearby assets and the evidence needed for field assessment.
Recovery history
Later observations, rehabilitation activities and field findings retained by site.
Use the result with context
Use the workflow for assessment and recovery
A hotspot is not the full fire perimeter or proof of structural damage. Spectral burn measures require appropriate local validation, and later greening does not establish ecosystem recovery. Tactical fire-front navigation and evacuation decisions require operational emergency services, beyond this retrospective review workflow.
Questions for your workflow
Plan the work around your needs.
Can I order the observations for another analysis tool?+
Yes. Data acquisition can stand alone. Specify the event area, periods, bands and format, then confirm permitted exports and delivery terms before ordering.
Can the app distinguish potential exposure from confirmed damage?+
That distinction belongs in the app brief. Show observation-based candidates separately from inspection findings, with dates and the source of each assessment.
Can we adapt it for different recovery programs?+
Describe the sites, inspection fields and reporting views each program needs. Ask the assistant to revise the app without writing its code yourself.
