ECE professor Alberto Leon-Garcia is working towards a platform that will provide first responders in Edmonton with predictions of emergency-event occurrences in the city. The tool is being developed in collaboration with Edmonton Fire Rescue Services (FRS) and TELUS to bring about more effective responses and efficient resource allocation.

The occurrence of many emergency events can be predicted because people's behaviours are predictable, says Leon-Garcia.

“The pulse of the city is driven by people and their activity
