Every year the Amazon region suffers with serious problems of environmental crimes, and among the most frequent are deforestation, burning and mineral extraction. Deforestation paves the way for fires, which in addition to crime, cause a direct public health problem, decreasing the capacity of hospitals, causing respiratory problems in citizens. Currently, the public health system in the state of Rondônia is working at its limit, with about 75% of the ICU beds filled, due to the pandemic caused by COVID-19. Avoiding fires is of fundamental importance so that the health system does not collapse completely, which would cause a large number of deaths.
Our motivation for this challenge was the fact that we live in an Amazon region constantly affected by the problem of deforestation and consequent burning of large regions of forest, which causes, in addition to irreparable environmental damage, damage to the health of the inhabitants of this region, increasing the number of hospitalizations and the rate of chronic diseases, in addition to causing climate changes that influence the health of the planet in several aspects. In 2020, we are in a delicate moment with the COVID 19 pandemic still expanding in the Amazon region, at the same time that the burning period is starting, which lights up a red light for public health problems. Avoiding fires in this delicate moment will help save lives and prevent hospitalizations, in addition to helping with the social control distance, because fewer people will travel to health care facilities.
This project was developed based on the integration of data on fires and deforestation points, obtained through access to system data (sistema da nasa ). The tool was developed using the flutter platform, coding with the languages Dart, PHP and JavaScript, within the development environments AndroidStudio,VisualStudio and PgAdmin. The data travels within the application through the integration of PostgreSQL, PostGIS and Sqlite databases.
