11 detalles sobre Disarm Fire

1. The DISARM (Drought and fIre ObServatory and eArly waRning systeM) project aims at developing an integrated set of services to support prediction and promote prevention of drought & wildland fires.

2. Employing state-of-the-art approaches, DISARM will contribute to the prediction of drought and wildland fire risk in Balkan-Med area, as well as to the assessment of the risks under a changing climate.

3. Moreover, DISARM will include a desktop and mobile application that will be used for disseminating the project outputs, increasing thus public awareness with respect to drought and wildland fires.

4. Concluding, the added-value of the project comprises of the build of an integrated framework that goes beyond existing practices, uses smartly modern technologies and includes civil protection services and the general public in the acquisition and sharing of information.

5. DISARM addresses the problem of provision of accurate and timely observations and forecasts on drought and fire risk through a holistic and transnational approach.

6. Bringing together Greece, Bulgaria and Cyprus, the overall objective is to deliver an innovative, integrated observatory platform and an early warning system that will serve as a key tool for protecting the environment, thus promoting sustainable development in the region.

7. A rapid-response system for the short-term prediction of wildland fire behavior will be also developed, while an observatory for near real-time monitoring of wildland fire activity will be established.

8. The system will be based on the use of high resolution meteorological forecasts, forest-fire spread models, satellite data for the detection of fires and the estimation of biomass, surface observations and monthly forecasting systems.

9. Civil protection agencies and fire services will increase their capacity to combat forest fires, by using the system.

10. This application will also provide users with a simple tool for reporting forest fires, as well as the presence of dead biomass, that is of great importance for the ignition of a fire.

11. The general public and private sector stakeholders will benefit from DISARM through the use of the interactive mobile application.
