Day 4/100: Maps for decisions 🔥

Aug 2019: 1M acres burned across Bolivia-Paraguay-Brazil.

Landsat 8 dNBR: pre/mid/post-fire scenes, TOA correction, NBR differencing, classification.
988,069 acres total. Max continuous: 638,673 acres (~491K football fields).

ArcGIS ModelBuilder + Python automation. Four severity classes for recovery planning.

Not every map needs beauty. Some need accuracy + speed.
