Find out how the Satellite Data Observatory provided by Geospatial Enabling Technologies, through the GET SDI PORTAL, to the Region of Crete is helping the Region to provide accurate forest fire impact assessments, as well as plan the necessary future mitigation measures. As the prevalence of warmer summers continues to affect Europe, forest fires are a greater concern for many regions. Copernicus Sentinel data is used to help assess the impact of forest fires and effectively plan related relief efforts. The Region of Crete has adopted the use of the Satellite Data Observatory provided by Geospatial Enabling Technologies through the Geospatial Information Infrastructure, and has gained access to Sentinel data, which helps provide accurate estimates of affected areas, both in terms of extent of the area as well as in terms of land type. This means that the Region of Crete can conduct thorough post-event analysis, make effective decisions regarding the management of relief efforts and plan future mitigation measures.

THE SATELLITE DATA OBSERVATORY PROVIDED VIA THE GET SDI PORTAL BY GET TO THE REGION OF CRETE WAS INCLUDED IN THE STUDY OF THE EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY “SHOWCASING THE BENEFITS BROUGHT BY THE USAGE OF SENTINELS DATA TO SOCIETY, ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMY: A BOTTOM-UP ASSESSMENT BASED ON TRACEABLE IMPACTS ALONG SELECTED VALUE CHAINS”
