The questions
- Which settlements sit in the most likely fire paths under typical summer winds?
- If one road is cut, how long do the remaining evacuation routes take?
- Where would clearing vegetation reduce risk for the most people?
- How did past fires spread, and does the model reproduce them?
What the twin would model
- Fuel and vegetation from satellite land-cover data
- Terrain, slope and aspect
- Wind and dryness from weather forecasts
- Roads, evacuation routes, water points and shelters
- Permanent, seasonal and tourist populations
Who it is for
Regional civil protection, municipalities, forestry services, insurers and infrastructure operators.
Not a replacement for official warnings. In an emergency always follow the Hellenic Civil Protection and the 112 service. Our work is for planning ahead.
Public sources we plan to start from
- Hellenic Civil Protection — daily fire risk map
- European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS)
- Copernicus Emergency Management Service
- National Observatory of Athens — meteo.gr
Listing a source does not mean we have a partnership with it. These are public datasets we plan to evaluate.
