Case Studies

U.S. – San Jose Wildfire Response System

ICity Tek deployed a wildfire detection system in the outskirts of San Jose, California, integrating temperature, humidity, and smoke sensors. Combined with real-time satellite feeds, the system reduced detection time by 75% and allowed for earlier evacuations and efficient resource deployment during fire season.

U.S. – Miami Flood Prediction Network

Miami’s coastal vulnerability led city officials to partner with ICity Tek for a flood early warning system. By leveraging tide sensors, weather models, and predictive analytics, the city prevented $3.2M in property damage during one hurricane season and improved evacuation planning and road closures.

Canada – Alberta Emergency Management Hub

In Alberta, ICity Tek established a cloud-based emergency management hub for a provincial disaster coordination center. Integrating real-time data feeds, multi-agency communication, and aerial drone surveillance, the solution significantly improved readiness and streamlined inter-municipal disaster responses.
