The National Bushfire Intelligence Capability uses CSIRO’s Earth Analytics Science and Innovation Hub (EASI).

EASI is designed as a Science-as-a-Service platform to support scalability and improve our connection to innovative science and the public and private sectors, both nationally and abroad.

EASI facilitates NBIC’s big data ingestion, integration, processing and modelling capabilities, which in turn provide users with analytical and decision-support capabilities, quickly and reliably.
