EFFIS - European Forest Fire Information System – Fire Hazard and Wildfire risk views.
The European Forest Fire Information System is an operational monitoring and information system managed by the European Commission Joint Research Centre under the Copernicus Emergency Management Service. It provides near real-time and historical data on wildfires across Europe, the Mediterranean, and neighbouring regions. The system integrates satellite observations, meteorological data, and modelling outputs to deliver a suite of interactive applications, including fire danger forecasts, burned area mapping, and risk indices. Through tools such as the Current Situation Viewer and Wildfire Risk Viewer, EFFIS supports authorities and decision-makers in monitoring fire activity, assessing risks, and coordinating response and preparedness.
What you can do with it
Input
- Explore near real-time and historical wildfire data through the Current Situation Viewer and Wildfire Risk Viewer
- Integrate satellite observations, meteorological data and modelling outputs on fire danger, burned area and risk indices
Output
- Maps showing fire danger forecasts, burned area mapping and risk indices
Use it to
- Monitor wildfire activity and fire danger across Europe and the Mediterranean in near real time
- Assess wildfire risk to support disaster risk reduction, forestry and land-use planning
- Coordinate fire response and preparedness
Why is it relevant to climate adaptation
An operational, daily-updated wildfire system with a strong scientific pedigree — peer-reviewed methodology, case-study and expert validation — and near real-time responsiveness most planning tools here don't offer. It provides no nature-based-solution, cost-benefit or just-resilience functionality.
Used in
- Wildfire monitoring, risk assessment and emergency preparedness across Europe, the Mediterranean and neighbouring regions, under Copernicus Emergency Management Service
- Disaster risk reduction, forestry and land-use planning, at European, transnational, outermost-region, national and subnational level
