Fire danger exchange 1998… need for harmonization establishment of EFFIS
Space User Workshop EMS Mapping, 15-16 March 2016, Ispra Jesús San-Miguel-Ayanz
Definition and scope of EFFIS
– System established by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) and DG Environment (ENV) as focal point
for information on forest fires in Europe (1998)
– Provides EU level assessments during both pre-fire and post-fire phases, thus supporting fire
prevention, preparedness, fire fighting and post-fire operations
– Complements national fire information systems through the provision of harmonised data,
methods and standards
Users
– EC Services, European Parliament, national/regional forest fires and civil protection services of
EU and non-EU countries
– FAO, United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, FAO Silva Mediterranea
Operation and development
– Development by the JRC. Until 2015, operation supported by the EC Directorate Generals ENV,
ECHO, JRC
– From Oct. 2015 onwards, operation financed by GROW EFFIS becomes part of Copernicus
EMS.

Since 2016 – the following EFFIS components will be operated outside JRC:
(1) Fire danger forecast
• Short and long-term fire danger forecast
• Monthly and seasonal fire weather forecast
(2) Active fire and burnt area mapping
• Active fire mapping – MODIS/VIIRS
• Medium spatial resolution (approx 300 m) near-real time mapping of burnt
areas (twice a day in pan-European region) (MODIS/VIRS/Sentinel3)
• High spatial resolution weekly burnt area mapping product (Landsat/Sentinel-2)

The following modules will be operated by the JRC:
(3) Enhancements of other existing modules of EFFIS e.g. fire database, fire
emissions and dispersion, soil erosion, vegetation regeneration, fire spread
prediction for large fires, etc.
(4) Dissemination services – operation of web services & contact with countries
(5) Development of a Global Wildfire Information System (GWIS) in cooperation
with GOFC Fire IT (Global Observation of Forest Cover Fire Implementation
Team) and GEO (Group on Earth Observations).
