22 - - Prevention and Mitigation of Fire Hazard in Portugal FIRE RISK MAPS METHODOLOGY Final Meeting [ESA - Rome, 17 January 2003] Mário Caetano Hugo Carrão Sérgio Freire Portuguese Geographic Institute, Portugal 1
23 Summary Introduction & Goals Fire Risk Mapping Proposed Methodology & Data Sets Verification & Validation Conclusions 2
24 : Goals - Project sponsored by European Spatial Agency (ESA) - Implement forest fire-fighting system in Portugal 1. Prevention and mitigation purposes 2. Real-time 3. Field usage - WP 300: R & D methodology for forest fire risk mapping The approach is based on the combination of Earth Observation (EO) information with ancillary data of natural parameters 3
25 Concepts / Definitions Fire Risk: - Likelihood of fire when there is ignition Portugal: arson is a very significant cause of forest fires (arson is very difficult to model, but human activity can be considered) - Within prevention and pre-supression planning phases Ideally represented by: Single figure Evaluated daily Using measured or predicted data Viegas,
26 Fire Risk in Portugal Methods employed by the Instituto de Meteorologia (IM): Angstrom Fire Index: 1960 Modified Nesterov Index: 1988 FFRI: 1994 FWI: Defines risk class by region - Computed for 60 weather stations Meteorological indices based on conventional variables 5
27 Fire Risk Mapping To estimate and represent cartographically: Probability of fire occurrence and potential severity of fire Different approaches: Time scale Variables Long-term: STRUCTURAL - Variables do not change in short lapse of time - More permanent planning of fire-fighting resources Short-term: term: DYNAMIC - Parameters change continuously over time - Decisions on pre-suppression and suppression activities during fire season 6
28 Fuel Types Topography Elevation Slope Aspect Soils Fire History Population Roads Climate... Fire Risk Mapping Methods Temperature Precipitation Relative Humidity Solar Radiation Wind... METEOROLOGICAL e.g., FWI, FFDI, KBDI, SPI, PDSI, HAINES NDVI VEGETATION STATUS / STRESS e.g., NOAA/NESDIS EFPP STRUCTURAL e.g., Chuvieco, MEGAFiRES, JRC, FLAMMAP, CRIF, STORMS DYNAMIC e.g., NFDRS, ICONA, FFRI, FPI NEW APPROACH: ADVANCED or INTEGRATED 7
29 : Integrated Approach Structural Component - Based on Chuvieco et al. (1989, 1997) and Aranha and Gonçalves (2001) Dynamic Component (meteorological component and vegetation status component) - Based on Burgan et al., 1998 (Fire Potential Index - FPI) Both approaches already tested in Mediterranean areas Useful Products: (Daily) Integrated Forest Fire Risk (IFFR) Map Fire Potential Index (FPI) Map (Yearly) Structural Fire Index (SFI) Map 8
