<DIV CLASS="ace-line"><SPAN CLASS="author-252544833 font-color-000000 font-color-222222 font-size-medium font-size-small">On August 25th, 2018, the City of Fremont, 42 US, Silicon Valley Insider, and Tulip Industries are teaming up with IBM to host a one day hackathon to help developers, engineers, designers, and emergency responders work on projects around Natural Disaster Preparedness and Relief during wildfires.</SPAN><BR CLASS="author-252544833"></DIV>

<DIV CLASS="ace-line"><SPAN CLASS="author-252544833 font-color-000000 font-size-medium">This hackathon is a satellite event for the Call for Code Challenge (callforcode.org) providing a chance to dedicate time to brainstorm, plan, and start building your submission for the challenge which closes on September 28. Projects built at the hackathon will be judged at the end of the day for a local grand prize.</SPAN><BR CLASS="author-252544833"></DIV>

<DIV CLASS="ace-line"><SPAN CLASS="author-252544833 font-size-medium">On average, every day natural disasters will directly impact 80,000 people, costing the global economy more than $270 million. What if technology could help improve these figures? That’s exactly what Call for Code is setting out to do. It asks developers to work out how to use AI, Blockchain, Cloud, Data, and IoT technologies most effectively to improve communities’ disaster preparedness and resiliency.</SPAN><BR CLASS="author-252544833"></DIV>

<DIV CLASS="ace-line"><SPAN CLASS="author-252544833 font-color-000000 font-color-222222 font-size-medium font-size-small">With 17 big blazes burning across California thus far in 2018, fire damage is likely to set an all-time record. In 2017 estimated lost from California wildfires totaled $10 to $12 billion, we have a unique perspective that can  help drive innovation in this field. We are developers, makers and builders who have lived through disasters. We know what is at stake. Bring your best!</SPAN><BR CLASS="author-252544833"></DIV>
