Local TV and radio networks also received the alert.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unsurprisingly, the notification was sent in error and only corrected 38 minutes and 13 seconds later. That\u2019s a pretty big fuck up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, IoT can play a vital role in detecting and communicating environmental changes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IoT_is_pretty_good_at_predicting_natural_disasters\"><\/span><strong>IoT is pretty good at predicting natural disasters<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While not as dramatic as an Earth-obliterating supernova, IoT can detect the early stages of natural disasters to help mitigate and prevent the loss of life and property.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, German startup <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dryad.net\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dryad<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has developed solar-powered gas sensors that work off-grid and are attached to trees. Machine learning processes the sensor data to look for specific gas patterns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the very early stages of wildfire, gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen are released. This makes it possible to detect fires before the open flames start and send an alert to emergency services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a massive advancement from traditional IoT, which uses satellites or cameras in trees to detect smoke. The problem is that a fire can<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0burn for up to three hours before it is visually detected. So gas detection is a huge advancement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And as for the supernovas, rest assured, none are close enough to Earth to trigger a mass extinction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" srcdoc=\"&lt;style&gt;*{padding:0;margin:0;overflow:hidden}html,body{background:#000;height:100%}img{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;transition:opacity .1s cubic-bezier(0.4,0,1,1)}a:hover img+img{opacity:1!important}&lt;\/style&gt;&lt;a href=\" https:=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/lRFfLgi3YfQ\/hqdefault.jpg\" style=\"top: 50%;left:50%;width:68px;height:48px;transform:translate3d(-50%,-50%,0)\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But a (suitably distant) supernova is <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/startswithabang\/2021\/07\/12\/will-these-two-stars-merge-into-a-luminous-red-nova-in-2022\/?sh=5ffa7cfb70ee\">predicted for later this year<\/a> in the Northern Hemisphere, which will be visible without specialist equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So you might want to check it out \u2014 and raise a glass like it\u2019s the end of the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
