Book excerpt: This advance report on wildfires in Europe, Middle East and North Africa 2022 presents results on the evolution of the wildfire campaign in that region on the basis of the data recorded in the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS). The 2022 was the second worst year in the Europe in terms of burnt areas and number of fires since 2006, according to the data available in EFFIS. The season was slightly milder in North African and Middle East countries. The burnt area in the European Union (EU) was the second highest ever, only behind the year 2017. The area mapped in EFFIS for the EU was 837 212 ha, which corresponds to an estimated burnt area of 881 275 ha, as EFFIS maps approximately 95% of the total burnt areas reported by the countries. Of special concern are the results on the impact caused by fires to the areas protected within the Natura2000 network, as they include habitats of especial interest which are home for endangered plant and animal species. Burnt areas mapped within the Natura2000 network of protected sites amounted to 365 308 ha, which corresponds to approximately 44% of the total burnt areas in the EU. In terms of affected land cover, those most affected by wildfires were Other Natural Land (29%) and Forests (27%). Preliminary analysis of economic damage by fires in the EU estimate losses of around 2.5 Billion Euro. The European Commission and the European Commission Expert Group on Forest Fires (EGFF) will publish a comprehensive analysis of the wildfire 2022 campaign in October 2023. This will include the national reports by the countries in the EGFF Network, now comprised of 43 countries in Europe, Middle East and North Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) has been established jointly by the European Commission services (DG ENV and JRC) and the relevant fire services in the EU Member States and European countries (Forest Services and Civil Protection services). Research activities for the development of the system initiated at JRC in 1998 and the first EFFIS operations were in the year 2000. In 2003, EFFIS was embedded in the new Regulation (EC) No 2152/2003 (Forest Focus) of the European Council and Parliament on monitoring of forests and environmental interactions until it expired in 2006. Since then EFFIS operated as a voluntary system of information on wildfires until 2015, when it became part of the EU Copernicus program, under the Emergency Management Services. Acting as the focal point of information on forest fires, EFFIS supports the national services in charge wildfire management. Currently, the EFFIS network is made of 43 countries in Europe, Middle East and North Africa. EFFIS provides specific support to the Emergency Response Centre (ERCC) (formerly Monitoring and Information Centre (MIC)) of Civil Protection as regards near-real time information on wildfires during the fire campaigns and assists other DGs through the provision of both pre-fire and post-fire information on wildfire regimes and impacts. It provides information that supports the needs of the European Parliament with regards to wildfire management, impact in natural protected areas and harmonized information on forest fires in the EU.

It provides information that supports the needs of the European Parliament with regards to wildfire management, impact in natural protected areas and harmonized information on forest fires in the EU. EFFIS also centralises the national fire data that the countries collect through their national forest fire programmes in the so-called EFFIS Fire Database. The EFFIS web services allow users to access near-real time and historical information on wildfires in Europe, Middle East and North Africa. EFFIS provides a continuous monitoring of the fire situation in Europe and the Mediterranean area. The information about the on-going fire season is continuously updated on the EFFIS web site (up to 6 times, daily), which can be interactively queried2.. EFFIS provides daily meteorological fire danger maps and forecasts of fire danger up to 9 days in advance, updated maps of the latest active fires, wildfire perimeters and post-fire evaluation of damage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EFFIS Danger Forecast was developed to support the Commission's Directorate-General for the Environment and the forest fire-fighting services in the EU Member States. From 2002, at the request of the Member States, operation of the EFFIS Danger Forecast was extended to six months starting on 1 May and ending on 31 October, and in 2006 to nine months, from 1 February to 31 October. From 2008 the EFFIS Danger Forecast system has run continuously throughout the year without interruption. The geographic extent has been enlarged over the years from the initial extent that covered only the Mediterranean region. Now the system covers the whole of Europe and MENA (Middle East & North Africa) countries. The meteorological data used to run the model has also changed during the years. At the beginning the system started using forecasted data provided by MeteoFrance with a spatial resolution of around 50 km. Then over time other providers were included, such as DWD (Deutscher Wetterdienst) and ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast) and the resolution has improved. Now the system runs with three different data sets from three providers: ECMWF (the primary), Meteo France and DWD; with a spatial resolution in a range from around 10 km to 25 km. In this chapter the fire danger trends assessed by EFFIS in the different countries during the 2019 fire season are presented, comparing them with previous years. Through the Danger Forecast module of EFFIS the situation has been continuously monitored and the risk level analysed and mapped. The following figures show fire danger through 2019 as determined by the average FWI values assessed during the fire season in the individual countries. In 2019 many countries saw higher than average FWI values relatively early in the year. The graphs show the weekly averages of FWI over entire countries; therefore local peaks might have been flattened, especially in those countries such as France or Italy, where there are strong differences in fire danger level with changing latitudes; nevertheless the general trend is depicted providing relevant information about the fire danger level and trends of the year. To allow a better comparison with past seasons, the curves of 2015-2017 are presented in conjunction with 2018 for all countries. The countries analysed are those participating in the EFFIS network for which data are available, and are presented in alphabetic order within the two groups (European countries and MENA countries).

Download or read book Wildfire Hazards Risks and Disasters written by Douglas Paton and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-10-20 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 90% of wildfires are caused by human activity, but other causes include lighting, drought, wind and changing weather conditions, underground coal fires, and even volcanic activity. Wildfire Hazards, Risks, and Disasters, one of nine volumes in the Elsevier Hazards and Disasters series, provides a close and detailed examination of wildfires and measures for more thorough and accurate monitoring, prediction, preparedness, and prevention. It takes a geo-scientific and environmental approach to the topic while also discussing the impacts of human-induced causes such as deforestation, debris burning and arson—underscoring the multi-disciplinary nature of the topic. It presents several international case studies that discuss the historical, social, cultural and ecological aspects of wildfire risk management in countries with a long history of dealing with this hazard (e.g., USA, Australia) and in countries (e.g., Taiwan) where wildfire hazards represent a new and growing threat to the social and ecological landscape. Puts the contributions of environmental scientists, social scientists, climatologists, and geoscientists at your fingertips Arms you with the latest research on causality, social and societal impacts, economic impacts, and the multi-dimensional nature of wildfire mitigation, preparedness, and recovery Features a broad range of tables, figures, diagrams, illustrations, and photographs to aid in the retention of key concepts Discusses steps for prevention and mitigation of wildfires, one of the most expensive and complex geo-hazards in the world.
