Multilingual Agent System Aims to Broaden Wildfire Evacuation Alerts
A new arXiv paper proposes a multilingual agent system that delivers wildfire evacuation guidance to people who may not speak the dominant local language. The authors note that wildfire seasons now run roughly 84 days longer than in the 1970s, increasing the stakes for timely emergency messaging. The work frames language access as a core part of inclusive disaster response.
