      <title>San Diego Wild Fires</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src='/files/Witch_Fire_Tasking.jpg' width='300'/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;NASA support has been requested in for a state of emergency so we are all trying to help as we can.  We have modified our &lt;a href='http://www.ogcnetwork.net/AIPdemos'&gt;GEOSS&lt;/a&gt; workflows to monitor the situation in the San Diego area.  Fire threats are being detected based on &lt;a href='http://maps.geog.umd.edu/firms/kml/'&gt;MODIS&lt;/a&gt; data and &lt;a href='http://eo1.gsfc.nasa.gov/'&gt;EO-1&lt;/a&gt; is being tasked twice a day to image the area.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;RESTful workflows implemented using &lt;a href='http://openwferu.rubyforge.org/'&gt;OpenWFERu&lt;/a&gt; are being used to process the imagery to deliver the  data to the first responders. &lt;a href='http://eo1.geobliki.com/hyperion/thermal/73/png'&gt;First thermal imagery&lt;/a&gt; processed onboard the  satellite has been downlinked and is available on &lt;a href='http://eo1.geobliki.com'&gt;http://eo1.geobliki.com&lt;/a&gt;.  Higher resolution data will be available as soon as possible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As more than 500,000 people are being evacuated and many are loosing their homes, our prayers and thoughts are with you.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
