SAFERS

In order to support societies becoming more resilient when acting against forests fires, the Horizon 2020-funded project SAFERS ‘Structured Approaches for Forest Fire Emergencies in Resilient Societies’ is going to create an open and integrated platform featuring a forest fire Decision Support System. The platform will use information from different sources: earth observations from Copernicus and GEOSS, fire sensors in forests, topographic data, weather forecasts and even crowdsourced data from social media and other apps that can be used by citizens and first responders to provide situational in-field information.
