00:00:30I'm waiting one more minute and then we will start.
00:01:00I'm waiting one more minute and then we will start.
00:01:29This webinar is part of the FHIRES series of webinars.
00:01:33The main aim of this series is to introduce all the innovation actions that are implemented
00:01:43within the FHIRES project.
00:01:47Today we have five speakers.
00:01:51So we will have the introduction of the innovation action 4.3 about FHIR education platform, an
00:01:57immersive tool for policymakers, schools and families.
00:02:01So we try to take advantage of new technologies to improve FHIR risk culture.
00:02:11The second talk will be the innovation action 5.1 about demonstration of an integrative umbrella
00:02:17system for estimating extreme event risk and impact in real time with high resolution data.
00:02:27So here it's ready for crisis management.
00:02:31Then we have another tool a bit similar in the same spirit that will show how we can simulate
00:02:38smoke spread based on coupled fire atmosphere approaches with quite high computing system.
00:02:47And then we will have also an innovation action related to the crisis management.
00:02:57Trying to quantify the impact of exposure to air pollutants from wildfires.
00:03:02And then we will have prototyping and testing of innovative tools for extreme event training certificates.
00:03:10So basically to have more and more people train for extreme fires.
00:03:16So we will start with the FHIR education platform.
00:03:20So I think it's Leticia who will be speaking first.
00:03:27So Leticia, if you can share your slideshow, the floor is yours.
00:03:41Is it sharing the presentation or just?
00:03:59It's working perfectly.
00:04:00You can start.
00:04:03Okay.
00:04:04Hi.
00:04:05Good morning to all.
00:04:06My name is Leticia and I'm working with Conceição Colas in the Instituto Superior de Agronomia,
00:04:13CABN, in the FHIR education platform that we call FHIR Explorer.
00:04:19To first introduce the platform, it's first needed to understand what is the big problem that
00:04:25we are trying to solve and where this need for the FHIR education platform came from.
00:04:31So there are wildfires happening on a global scale everywhere that impacts the communities,
00:04:39but also the ecosystem and everyone around it.
00:04:42And from a survey that we did in the beginning of the project that gathered around 800 answers,
00:04:49what we understood is that there is a low awareness of fire risks and also limited knowledge about fire.
00:04:55What this means is that there were a lot of doubts regarding what to do in a wildfire,
00:05:01what to do to prevent it, and how can people actually act during a wildfire.
00:05:06Besides this, we also noticed an information gap.
00:05:14So there is a lot of available information online that is dispersed around the internet,
00:05:21but this information is not always exact, depending on the source,
00:05:29but also it's not always explained in a simple manner to everyone.
00:05:34So sometimes it's explained with very complicated terms and also not easy to access for everyone,
00:05:42or even easy to interact or even easy to find this information.
00:05:47So what we noticed is that there is a difficulty to understand what these information circulating are
00:05:56and where to find credible sources and the lack of clear, simple and practical guidance surrounding wildfires.
00:06:09The main question is where can we find reliable information that's useful and easy to understand,
00:06:14but also easy to interact with, easy to find, easy to access for everyone.
00:06:19Because this is not only something that applies to the general citizens,
00:06:23that sometimes have trouble finding where to find these information,
00:06:29but also even for professionals in different fields, since information is so dispersed
00:06:37and sometimes explained in very technical and detailed guidelines.
00:06:44So it's also easy to, it's also hard to find it.
00:06:51One solution that we came up with, and this is one of many solutions that the Firehands is trying to solve,
00:06:59we came up with a fire education platform that we like to call Fire Explorer.
00:07:05And what we aim for this platform is to not only improve communication of information surrounding wildfires,
00:07:12but mainly to make this information easy and accessible to everyone.
00:07:16Easy to read, to understand, to retain, but also to interact with and easy to find.
00:07:22A place where all of these main doubts can be answered and they can all find information.
00:07:29But when we say, oh, we have a pretty big audience that we plan to find a solution to.
00:07:41So we aim to not only help the general citizens and teachers, but also professionals and people that work in the field.
00:07:53So how can we do this in a way that actually provides and caters to everyone's needs?
00:08:00Since this is a very ambitious approach.
00:08:03So this is the homepage of the platform that we are creating.
00:08:08And what we can see is that it's organized in different fields.
00:08:11Our solution or our approach was to, in a cohesive and organized matter,
00:08:25we try to divide each section to each public audience or goal,
00:08:30so we can answer and cater to their own needs and information that they are trying to find.
00:08:38One thing that was also very important in the development of this platform was the need to make it accessible.
00:08:45And I mean accessible to interact so people with different capabilities can actually interact with.
00:08:54But also regarding language, because this is a European platform that we plan to have it translated to different languages.
00:09:04Right now it's in Portuguese and English, but we plan to make it to some others.
00:09:13In this section, we can actually find how the platform is organized.
00:09:19In these three main sections that is dedicated to each of the publics that we try to target.
00:09:25So for example, in the to teach section, we try to provide a space where teachers and educators can find resources to teach their classrooms.
00:09:36And this includes video classes, training courses, and even interactive exercises,
00:09:42and also webinars and places where they can find easy information and toolkits prepared to teach their classrooms.
00:09:50Then on the to learn section, we focus on communicating to the general public and also to kids.
00:10:02So we try to explain information in this space in a very simple and easy manner, explaining basic fire contents,
00:10:10but also providing pedagogical resources, resources for kids, interesting resources to explain the basic concepts surrounding fire and wildfire,
00:10:20and understanding how they can actually access information themselves and general fire information,
00:10:25but also interactive exercises and resources for kids.
00:10:29And this is done in a very simple language that everyone can understand.
00:10:38And then we have the to-do section that is made for professionals of different areas around forestry, for example.
00:10:46But any other field that is related and interested in the matter and also stakeholders and even landowners.
00:10:56And this was done with CTFC.
00:10:59And this is basically a repository of different documents that are organized and filtered so people can actually find exactly what they want
00:11:10through these filters, through their tags, and through the field where they are trying to find the information for.
00:11:19But besides these three main sections that are targeted to three specific audiences, what we noticed in our survey and what we actually see around in especially,
00:11:32for example, the last few weeks have been very complex regarding wildfires, is that people want to know what to do in a fire situation,
00:11:40what to do to prevent it, what to do during a fire and also after a fire.
00:11:45And what we gathered from the survey was that people want a quick guide where they can find the main information on what they should do and how to prepare.
00:11:54So we created a specific section for that, so everyone can actually find a specialized space where they don't have to search a lot.
00:12:03And this is our five-minute fire guide where we provide the answers to these main questions and it's organized in the different cycles.
00:12:16And in this section, we also want to make sure that people interact with the information and actually in order to test their knowledge and so that they can experience and retain their knowledge.
00:12:27So we are doing, besides these guides that are illustrated so people can see how to prepare, we also are doing interactive narratives.
00:12:39And we have two scenarios so far, which is what to do during a wildfire where you can see from the image below,
00:12:48people have an initial scenario where they are in an area with a fire and then they are given different choices on how to act.
00:12:58And this will tell whether they survived the fire or the best choices and also in a way that everything is explained.
00:13:07So if someone makes an error, we explain what the problem here was so they can find the answer and, for example, try again.
00:13:16And so they learn interacting. We also have one for prevention, burning agricultural waste.
00:13:22And for example, below we have an image, a sketch. It's an early sketch of the visuals.
00:13:28So we can see that it's something easy and it's something very visual so we can capture the attention and adapt it to everyone in the building.
00:13:41And we have these moments of choices. So people can choose and follow their own path to understand what to do.
00:13:50And then there is one of the most ambitious parts of the project, which is the fire culture.
00:13:55And this is a very important part because besides providing all the information, understanding fire and how we actually coexist with fire is something very important.
00:14:07Because we all live with it and people fear it, but it's a very important part of our way of life and that it's present in a lot of ways that sometimes we don't notice.
00:14:18So in this, we plan to share a collection of information that we found regarding fire and how it's represented through the different media.
00:14:29For example, in practices, myths and stories about fire, but also how it's represented nowadays in art forms and even how we celebrate it in different events because it's a very big part of our calendar.
00:14:43Especially in Europe, we have a ton of festivities around wildfires, around fires, sorry.
00:14:49And so we have these sections where we try to share all of these things that we found and try to explain it on why it's happening.
00:14:59And this is something that we are still trying to connect.
00:15:02But also one thing that we are trying to do is actually show everyone how the fire is celebrated and is used in the different traditions and events.
00:15:14And we are doing this not just by providing information, providing organized information, which is the main goal of the platform, but mainly trying to showcase in an interactive way how they, for example, can find in the map the facilities close to them.
00:15:30And how we are all very different celebrating fire, but we share a lot of traditions.
00:15:37And this makes us think and understand that we use fire in many ways that we don't even think.
00:15:46So we are trying to build an interactive map of different events around Europe.
00:15:51And this is something that we are still building.
00:15:53And this is something that we are still building.
00:15:54We have a very big list of events.
00:15:55We are trying to find even more, which is something I'm going to talk about in the last slide.
00:16:01But also a story corner where we are trying to find stories with fire, especially stories that we share to our children and that are built with us from the start.
00:16:15And trying to tell it in a narrative and interesting way.
00:16:22And then the fire interval, which is something a little bit similar in the concept to the interactive map.
00:16:31But in this case, it's a narrative story.
00:16:34It's storytelling where for each month of the year we have at least a fire celebration.
00:16:41And we have this small group of friends here in the beginning trying to navigate fire across Europe.
00:16:48One event at least for each month.
00:16:51And this was done with a lot of research.
00:16:54We tried to understand what the bigger events were around Europe.
00:17:00We collected the traditions and the main symbolic elements.
00:17:03And we did, as you can see, these pictures where we collect the main ambience.
00:17:09And then, with the help of an illustrator, we are actually trying to create a narrative.
00:17:16So when people navigate and click, they can see, for example, the sky illuminating in a way that showcases all of these different and small traditions.
00:17:24This is still something that we are working on.
00:17:31It's going to have, as I mentioned, at least 12 moments.
00:17:35But we are aiming for a little bit more.
00:17:38And it's something that we are trying to collect because we want to have a lot of fire celebrations around the world.
00:17:48And for that, I provide the QR code to the platform.
00:17:53But also, I'm here with a small request, which is if there are people from different countries here, so if you can help us out.
00:18:08And if you know certain events with fire around, for example, these countries that are interesting and that's something that you would like us to share on the platform, you can always email me at the email provided down below.
00:18:23And so that we can add it to the platform and make it a little bit more interesting because all of these events, what they have in common is that they help us gain a lot of insight and also help us get to know what's happening and how fire is present throughout our lives.
00:18:40And in the QR code, you can explore the platform.
00:18:43This is an early version and is still a prototype because in the stage where it's now, we can't actually put for now online on the server.
00:18:55And this was the very big presentation.
00:19:06I'm now leaving with Kosi Samwar and the other people.
00:19:10Thank you very much, Leticia.
00:19:13Thank you very much.
00:19:14So now it's time for questions.
00:19:16So if you have any question, you can raise the hand.
00:19:20Do I see?
00:19:22No, this is an applause.
00:19:25Okay, there is no question in the chat.
00:19:28I will start with my questions then.
00:19:31You said at one stage that you plan to have it translated because if you want to address these messages to a broad audience.
00:19:40You need to have it in native languages.
00:19:42So how do you plan to have the translation made?
00:19:46Plan to translate all documents?
00:19:49What is the plan behind that?
00:19:52So far, we are only thinking of translating the platform and we have a plugin that helps us create different pages.
00:19:59And in the languages that we have people working with us, we are planning to make the translation manual.
00:20:07But on the cases where we don't really speak the language, we also have the aid of a plugin that is using AI to translate the documents.
00:20:19And then we verify it.
00:20:20Not the documents, the platform itself.
00:20:22The documents are in English, but some of them already are tagged with the language they are in.
00:20:31And it's something that we have yet to see.
00:20:39Okay, yeah.
00:20:40Because I know it's always challenging to maintain sites in many languages.
00:20:44And this is my second question.
00:20:45It's about maintenance.
00:20:47I think you could use the money of FireRace to initiate the platform.
00:20:55How will it be maintained?
00:20:57Will it be the ecological center or the university that will keep it alive?
00:21:03Or do you have any kind of business model?
00:21:06People putting at the event will have to pay for something?
00:21:11Or how will it be maintained?
00:21:16This I will answer.
00:21:18So we've decided that no one will pay for this type of information.
00:21:23So everything is free.
00:21:26Exactly because we wanted to maintain and to keep it alive.
00:21:32We've decided to include it in the server of the university.
00:21:38With the university, we have two main reasons.
00:21:41One, it's for the credibility.
00:21:44Because one of the things that we saw, it was that there is a lot of information,
00:21:48but many times it's not reliable information.
00:21:52And for the future, we will have more fake news, more fake information.
00:21:59So we wanted to have very reliable information in this.
00:22:04And, well, a university, it has that onus that will help us.
00:22:09Also, because it is on the server of the university and, well, we have been working.
00:22:15So our research center has been working for more than 30 years in education, forest education, for education.
00:22:24We continue to maintain it and to explore it and add it with information from different projects that we continue to work or that we will get more information.
00:22:36And, of course, we are always open to other projects, the new information that will come and that we can include in the platform.
00:22:49Not right now, but more in the future.
00:22:53And I would like to highlight the thing that Leticia mentioned, that is, we did a huge research on the festivities and practices that uses fire in Europe.
00:23:06And we are very keen to receive a few more.
00:23:10So, for instance, in France, we don't have many things.
00:23:13So, if you, Christophe or other colleagues, know some other festivities that are occurring in your own country,
00:23:24please let us know, because we are really keen on receiving that and putting it on the map in a way that it's an interactive cultural map.
00:23:35Okay.
00:23:37So the message is clear.
00:23:39If you are aware of any event related to fire culture, send it to our colleagues of Portugal.
00:23:47I will think about it for France.
00:23:49Probably we have a couple of events because there is still quite active press by burning there.
00:23:55I keep it in mind.
00:23:57Thank you very much.
00:24:00I think now it's time to move to our next speaker.
00:24:02It's Adrian Jimenez from Technosilva, but I'm afraid he's not here.
00:24:07Ah, yes, you are.
00:24:08Okay.
00:24:09Good.
00:24:10Perfect.
00:24:11So, Adrian, the floor is yours.
00:24:13So you can start.
00:24:15You will talk about an integrative umbrella for estimated extreme event risk and real-time high resolution weather data.
00:24:25So you have 20 minutes plus time for questions.
00:24:32Thank you so much.
00:24:34Good morning, everyone.
00:24:36Yeah.
00:24:37I'm going to introduce and explain the main functionalities of this demonstration of this integrative umbrella system that
00:24:49Renosilva and other partners have been developing and implementing with the main goal of estimating the extreme welfare event risk and impact in real-time.
00:25:01Your presentation is not in presentation mode.
00:25:03I don't know if it is on.
00:25:05Oh, it's in the...
00:25:07Sorry.
00:25:11I can't see my screen, actually.
00:25:13Sorry.
00:25:18We can see it, but it is not in presentation mode.
00:25:20We see the slide on the left.
00:25:22I don't know if you want to keep it like that or...
00:25:25Wait a second.
00:25:26Something is...
00:25:27There.
00:25:28Hmm.
00:25:29Okay.
00:25:30Okay.
00:25:31Okay.
00:25:32So I need to share...
00:25:33Now you stop sharing.
00:25:34Screen one.
00:25:35Screen one?
00:25:36Is it right?
00:25:37Is it okay right now?
00:25:38Yes.
00:25:39No, this is the wrong one.
00:25:40This is the one for speakers.
00:25:41Okay.
00:25:42Okay.
00:25:43Okay.
00:25:44Okay.
00:25:45So I need to share...
00:25:46Now you stop sharing.
00:25:47Screen one.
00:25:48Screen one?
00:25:49Is it right?
00:25:50Is it okay right now?
00:25:51It's still...
00:25:52Yes.
00:25:53No, this is the wrong one.
00:25:54It's the wrong one for speaker.
00:25:56We should see the other.
00:25:57Ah.
00:25:58If you can share the screen too.
00:26:01Oh.
00:26:02Maybe the screen too...
00:26:04One second.
00:26:17Now?
00:26:20Now it's perfect.
00:26:21Go on.
00:26:22Okay.
00:26:23Sorry.
00:26:24Sorry about that.
00:26:25Three screens.
00:26:26That is the first time I made this webinar with three screens.
00:26:31So sorry about the technical issue.
00:26:34Okay.
00:26:35So I was mentioning that I am going to move to this demo and explain the main functionalities.
00:26:43So the main thing as introduction, this platform has been built and developed in the frame of the Innovation Action 5.1.
00:26:54That is about development for an integrated system to support extreme warfare innovation decision making.
00:27:01And in this particular task, that is the name of the presentation actually.
00:27:05So as we all know, extreme warfare events are becoming in the last decades or the last years and increasing three across the world because they are causing different impacts and high impacts in the environmental, in the economic and obviously in the social aspects.
00:27:26And in the context of the FireRest project, it was extremely necessary to create this platform that is finally called the Integrative Software System, ISS.
00:27:40And it's mainly a tool that estimates the risk of these extreme warfare events and supports better decision making.
00:27:47This is the main goal, to support a better decision making facing these growing warfare challenges.
00:27:53So as I mentioned, this platform, the ISS, is the result of a successful collaboration between nine partners.
00:28:04So each one has been contributing to a complex development and also an integration process.
00:28:11So as a summary, I am going to highlight the main strength of this platform, the ISS.
00:28:22As I mentioned before, this is a major technical achievement because it brings together a big range of different welfare related tools, different services into one seamless system.
00:28:37And to apply and showcase all the integrated solutions because they are going to change sometimes depending on the corresponding European living labs.
00:28:48As I mentioned, this platform includes also external services from the first stages of the implementation.
00:28:55And all these external services, as I mentioned, they support the wildfire risk assessment, forecasting this condition, the condition that promotes these extreme wildfires.
00:29:09And also, and this is a very important implementation.
00:29:16There are two powerful fire simulators.
00:29:18One of the simulators simulate the fire behavior adapted to the extreme wildfire, extreme event conditions.
00:29:28This one was developed by Tecnosilva and also includes and provide indices that allow users to classify if an incident can be considered an extreme wildfire event or not.
00:29:42And another simulator that also includes complex conditions related to the pyrocompective processes that are rare, are less common, but they are very dangerous or as we, as we, everyone knows in this kind of events.
00:30:00And finally, and not less important, the application of this ISS website or platform is that several services are already being used in the field exercises and have been tested in real wildfire events during this last fire season, during 2025.
00:30:21And that is proving that it has a very practical value.
00:30:29Okay.
00:30:30So I'm going to move to the, to the, sorry, to the, to the, to the ESSS itself.
00:30:42So if we go to the main, the main, the main, the main web, the one, one, one page, we have the, as I see, we will have a great register.
00:30:53We can see the main, the main page.
00:30:56This is the, the, the, the police tent.
00:30:59So we can see here the, the highlight, the areas that correspond to the life, to the living labs regions.
00:31:07We have the Portuguese living regions, Galicia, Catalonia living lab, also the Germany and Netherlands, Grand Canaria living lab, and also the Aquitania, a region living lab.
00:31:20Only for one CLI and one of the, one particular living lab, we just zoom in into the, that particular area.
00:31:27And then we can just see all the information of the services and solutions.
00:31:36One particular living lab has been implemented.
00:31:39So in the main map of the, of the ISS, we have four different sections in the, to the, on the left, we have the implemented applications.
00:31:50Okay.
00:31:51So this is a implemented applications for the, for the Catalonia lab.
00:31:57I will, I will explain later.
00:31:59In the, in the second, in the, in the right corner, we have the all layers.
00:32:06This includes weather layers and risk layers.
00:32:10Okay.
00:32:11So the, we can visualize, uh, different, uh, kind of, uh, weather layers and risk layers.
00:32:18I will explain later.
00:32:19Okay.
00:32:20And then on the, on the, in the, in the right bottom corner, we have the legend.
00:32:26We have every single layer have, has obviously his own, his own legend.
00:32:34So in the case we can, we want to see the convective precipitation for the European meteorological
00:32:41satellite.
00:32:42We just cannot click in the bottom of the main category and then the corresponding variable.
00:32:47variable.
00:32:48And then we can see, uh, the, the layer.
00:32:52So it, sometimes it takes a while to, to, to load the, the, the formation of the layers.
00:33:02Um, yeah.
00:33:04Uh, or maybe one related to the spire.
00:33:09Um, we have the, the two meters temperature.
00:33:13Okay.
00:33:14So in this case, we can see this example of this, uh, high resolution, whether, whether layer
00:33:20in the ISS and his, uh, it's corresponding, um, his corresponding layer, uh, layer.
00:33:27Okay.
00:33:28So the third, the, sorry, the fourth and the last is the, this menu on the, the right, uh,
00:33:37corner.
00:33:38Um, and here we can just, uh, change our profile details, uh, changing the settings.
00:33:46If we prefer the, the black option or the white, or just changing the language or decided the
00:33:54format of the date.
00:33:55Yes.
00:33:56We can save these settings in any moment.
00:33:58And also we have different options about the coordinates.
00:34:02We can just click on the map and get the coordinates for, uh, anywhere.
00:34:06Um, different options of measure distance, uh, draw, draw a polygon or did some particular
00:34:12analysis.
00:34:13We will see later.
00:34:14And also go to the default extent as before, um, just use our position.
00:34:21Okay.
00:34:22If we allow the, the, um, the settings to do that in the, in the crown or in the explorer,
00:34:30in the explorer, we just can move to our position.
00:34:34Well, our, my mind is in, is in the Grand Canaria, um, living that actually.
00:34:40Okay.
00:34:41So, um, as I mentioned before, um, here.
00:34:50I'm gonna, uh, okay.
00:34:52I, as I mean, as I am showing this layer, the, um, the two meters temperature, we can
00:34:59see in the bottom that we have, uh, for every single hour, we have the, um, forecast
00:35:05of this variable.
00:35:06So we can just move this time slider.
00:35:09Okay.
00:35:10So just move to a particular time in case of the operational or the user needs to know
00:35:17where it's going to be the forecast of any specific, uh, variable.
00:35:20Right.
00:35:21So in, I want to explain, uh, a little bit the, this, uh, this, the main categories.
00:35:28Okay.
00:35:29So we have the Copernicus FB services that, that includes different, uh, draw indices.
00:35:36So they are crucial for the, um, um, for the fire prone, uh, conditions in, for, for fires,
00:35:43of course.
00:35:44So we have this, um, this, um, um, imported, uh, layers from the, for the main, uh, links.
00:35:54And then we have the, also the beers, active fires.
00:35:58This is the, um, uh, a bit, it has a better resolution than modis.
00:36:02The satellite that, uh, the, the text, the, the hotspots, um, uh, produced by the fires.
00:36:10So we can see in the end, for example, in the case of the Catalonia, um, living lab, we
00:36:17can see the, um, the active fires in the last 30, 30 days.
00:36:24And also we can also see the burn areas in the, the same timestamp.
00:36:32Okay.
00:36:33So we can see these, uh, burn areas.
00:36:37So it takes some time to, to, to log because it has to connect with, uh, the main service
00:36:41of, uh, the websites.
00:36:43And then we have the, as I, as I said before, the, uh, European, um, meteorological satellites
00:36:51that have different, um, variables that can be, um, shown in the, uh, is, um, the ISS.
00:37:01So we have here, yes, we have the, the clock top high.
00:37:06Okay.
00:37:08Okay.
00:37:09And also the precipitation rate.
00:37:12Precipitation rate.
00:37:15Okay.
00:37:16So here we can control also the transparent scenes of any, of any layer it displayed or
00:37:22using the star, we can save as a favorite, uh, layer in case we, uh, we want to, to resume
00:37:29quickly the, the visualization.
00:37:31Right.
00:37:32So, uh, also we have the spire vertical, um, um, variables that this includes a lot
00:37:42of, uh, variables of, uh, with high resolution.
00:37:46Uh, these are the basic, uh, three different categories, the basic, uh, variables that includes
00:37:52the wind, the total precipitation, the wind gusts, the air temperature, visibility, et cetera.
00:37:58And then we have the upper air, um, variables that includes a different isobaric levels,
00:38:05depending on the, um, atmospheric condition, this level of, of reference change because
00:38:11the, uh, as we know, the atmosphere, the atmosphere is dynamic.
00:38:14So this, um, uh, for the, this isobaric level that is, uh, represented by these, um, variables.
00:38:23Okay.
00:38:24So we have, again, the temperature, relative, uh, humidity, uh, absolute vortices and others
00:38:30related to the, um, to the clouds and, and these kind of, um, parameters.
00:38:38So, uh, also we have, uh, we have included in the spire vertical weather, this, um, this
00:38:44also, this, uh, kind of, uh, uh, variables related to convective, um, convective processes.
00:38:52It's like condensation, convective, convective, available protection energy, lifted indices,
00:38:57uh, lifted index, and all the other, other variables.
00:39:01I don't want to display all of them because there are some complex city about this, but
00:39:06these all are really useful for the experts who are working with this kind of, uh, pyro,
00:39:13pyro, pyro, pyroconvections related to this, uh, kind of strain, strain welfare events.
00:39:18All right.
00:39:19And then we have the Tecno Silva layers.
00:39:23Uh, here we, we includes, um, the territory risk.
00:39:28We have two different, um, we have two different, uh, models, models.
00:39:34The first one is the territory risk that represents, uh, the forecast of the, these, uh, particular
00:39:43variables.
00:39:44Okay.
00:39:45So if we, if we click in the, um, in the Catalonia, um, the Catalonia living lab, we just click
00:39:53the Tecno Silva risk layers and we can see the projected or the, uh, uh, yeah, the, the forecast,
00:40:00um, the rate of the spread.
00:40:04Okay.
00:40:05This is in Excel, uh, uh, uh, age three level representation.
00:40:09That is, is, is more convenient and fast to, to the, uh, to show the spatial information.
00:40:16Uh, depending on the zoom we are working on.
00:40:19So here we have the, um, rate of spread predicted depending, uh, uh, according to the forecast,
00:40:26the weather forecast.
00:40:27So here we can see, uh, the meters in the rate of spread, the velocity of the fire in
00:40:34meters per per minute.
00:40:36Right.
00:40:37Um, yeah, or more difference, uh, like population impacted by the fire.
00:40:44Um, depending on the hour, uh, the day this information is, uh, is, uh, calculated and is,
00:40:53uh, is implemented every three hours.
00:40:56Right.
00:40:57And then we also have, uh, the full minister.
00:41:02The full minister is, uh, is, uh, is another, uh, factor essential for the, um, forecast,
00:41:09the, for the, the reason of the fire.
00:41:11We have the, the, the woody and the herbaceous live full monster and the, the full monster
00:41:18for one hour, 10 hour and, uh, 100 hour.
00:41:22Okay.
00:41:23So here also we have the, these three layers also included in the 10 of silver rays.
00:41:29And also, um, uh, okay.
00:41:34So finally we have also the high resolution weather data.
00:41:38Right.
00:41:39Um, okay.
00:41:41These are similar to the, um, to the, um, to the spire, uh, light layers because there
00:41:47are also high resolution, um, weather that, um, that they are related, um, with the convective,
00:41:56um, the convective processes, but apart from other variables, right?
00:42:01Like the rain, temperature, um, vapor pressure deficit, wind speed, and others, um, related
00:42:09to this instability or, uh, uh, assessment of the, of the, uh, atmosphere.
00:42:15So I have to emphasize the, uh, this is important because there are some of this, uh, information,
00:42:22these layers, uh, using for predicting possible extreme welfare event behavior.
00:42:28For example, as the lifted, uh, the lifted in this, that is in the, um, in the, um, spire
00:42:35vertical weather is here.
00:42:37The lifted in this is employed in, in the, the forecast of the, this, uh, strain well-firing
00:42:43behavior.
00:42:44And others like the convective flat that is mainly showing that is a signal of the atmosphere
00:42:51the atmosphere is stable or inestable to promote these kind of, uh, events, right?
00:43:01Um, okay.
00:43:02So I'm going to move to another, um, section.
00:43:08In this case, uh, we also, uh, I have shown the weather.
00:43:12I have some of the risk of, uh, the fuel mixture.
00:43:16And also, um, uh, we have, uh, in the, in the frame of this project, in the, in the frame
00:43:22of the ISS, we have included maps of all conditions and vegetation recovery.
00:43:28And we're also well-fire stability weather data.
00:43:31This was developed by the, um, by the Institute in geography and, uh, cartography and geological
00:43:39of Catalonia.
00:43:40And it's a recent module that is employing for mapping, uh, these chains and monitor the
00:43:46post-fiber-creditation recovery and has been implemented through the air observation multispectral,
00:43:52uh, datasets like light and also using lighter data and for, and of course the matching learning
00:44:00approach.
00:44:01We have development, uh, in this particular is a development of our operational methodology,
00:44:06uh, to generate spectral indices based on the Copernicus data to build up times, temporal
00:44:13time series.
00:44:14And also, uh, this development includes, uh, uh, API, uh, API or a code that takes as
00:44:22input this temporal series over wellfires allocated over Catalonia living lab.
00:44:27So if we go to here to living lab, um, uh, Catalonia living lab, we can see different, uh, layers
00:44:38to, or recent or very historic, uh, or historical, uh, fires of this particular region.
00:44:45Okay.
00:44:46So here we can see, uh, the three main, uh, indices that has been developed for this, uh, for this
00:44:57fire.
00:44:58This is a fire located in the North East of Catalonia.
00:45:01So this is called Janka and it's, uh, it's included.
00:45:05This is include the NDVI, um, the NDVI indices normally is the vegetation index and also the,
00:45:14uh, visible green index, uh, variable, and also the severity, the delta N, NBR, uh, indices.
00:45:23And here, the good thing is we can just see the evolution in the lower parts.
00:45:29We can see the evolution, um, for the days, uh, during the days, sorry, uh, about that particular
00:45:37indices.
00:45:38And also if we, if we go to, if we draw, if we, if we draw, uh, a square maybe here, okay,
00:45:50we can just select the option to draw a polygon and we can, we can draw a polygon and close
00:45:59it.
00:46:00We can just press send.
00:46:02Okay.
00:46:03To send.
00:46:04And here we can, uh, obtain roughly, uh, evolution of this, uh, particular variable.
00:46:11Uh, the three, the three, the three indices, sorry, the three indices, the NDVI, the, uh,
00:46:18the, uh, severity and the visible green index.
00:46:21Okay.
00:46:22So we, here we have the temporal evolution for any point of the file perimeter after,
00:46:28after the, the, the fire has occurred.
00:46:31So this result can be downloaded as a CSV, CSV, uh, formal file.
00:46:38And also we can obtain, uh, info information about the, um, this, uh, this fire in these songs.
00:46:48I mean, the, for this, um, for this, um, particularly in lab, we cannot take different, uh, statistic
00:46:57about the surface burn, the biomass and the, um, the, the CO2 emissions.
00:47:06Right.
00:47:07So also this information can be downloaded as a CSV format.
00:47:13So this is another implementation that is very useful specifically after the fires to, to, uh, to, to, to monitoring the vegetation recovery
00:47:24and how the, the wildfire stability is, is responding.
00:47:30Okay.
00:47:31So another implementation has been the concentration of flammable volatilist compounds in the atmosphere.
00:47:39Uh, everyone knows that wildfire, wildfires emit large amounts of trace gases, gases, and particles,
00:47:46significantly impacting the atmospheric chemistry.
00:47:50So these volatile organic compounds emitted for the heat vegetation of our, of, or, uh,
00:47:57by its products are incomplete, uh, incomplete compostation in the wildfire front.
00:48:02So they may accumulate under specific topographic and meteorological condition.
00:48:07Okay.
00:48:08So these gases, uh, may reach specific concentration leading to sudden ignitions and rapid bursts of flames as in explosions.
00:48:16So in this case, for this particular, um, we, we have to move to the, um, to the Portuguese living labs.
00:48:27Okay.
00:48:28And in this particular, uh, region, we have here the, another layer different than, than, than in the Catalonia living lab.
00:48:41That this includes the ozone molecules, the methane molecules per, uh, kilometer square.
00:48:48And different, um, different measures, um, of these, um, volatilist compounds.
00:48:56Okay.
00:48:57So it's important to know that this is only, uh, uh, demo, uh, uh, information because it's only, uh, covering the February, uh, 2025.
00:49:07Right.
00:49:08This is only display as demonstration purposes.
00:49:10So, okay.
00:49:11So this is an implementation in progress, but the idea is to, um, to have this historical and also the, um, the, uh, real time measures of these, um, these compounds.
00:49:25Right.
00:49:26Okay.
00:49:27I want to move a bit faster because I don't want display to stay a long time.
00:49:33So, um, okay.
00:49:34I want to move to the external information sharing.
00:49:38So, uh, in the case of the Catalonia living lab, uh, the department of the interior of the Catalonia government, uh, it was interesting in includes real time information.
00:49:51Okay.
00:49:52Uh, for the Catalonia fire rescue services that, uh, and they prepare a database server that is shared with the inside the ISS platform.
00:50:03And it is collecting, um, uh, by the fire responders, by the firefighters and the fire first responders of the fire events.
00:50:12And it comprehends two main services.
00:50:14The fed, the first one is a feature servers from LG service, uh, LG service.
00:50:20And this includes the fire locations.
00:50:23Okay.
00:50:24So if we move here to the, um, to the Catalonia living lab, and we click here in the, in the CFRS, so we can see here the firefighter action viewer.
00:50:40Okay.
00:50:41Okay.
00:50:42So here we can just see the last, uh, the last events that, uh, the, the firefighters and firefighters in the, in the, of the, of the, of Catalonia have been working recently.
00:50:54So here you can see the events.
00:50:57Okay.
00:50:58Um, the, the, the, the type of fire, the date and, and, and, and daytime and what, uh, what another information about the municipality and the coordinates.
00:51:11So also you can see in a full screen and you just move to a, to another viewer, the main viewer.
00:51:17So just for me, um, more comfortable viewer in the case you want to, um, to pay more attention and go for a more detail.
00:51:29All right.
00:51:30So, um, yeah, this is, it will include this.
00:51:35And also, uh, uh, um, uh, uh, energy server must have this to provide the emergence operative cartography of Catalonia.
00:51:42of Catalonia. In this, if we click here, sorry, if we click here in this bottom of the left
00:51:52corner, on the bottom, we can see a different base map. This is the operative cartography
00:52:00of Catalonia. And if we're zooming, it's supposed to show, okay, the official cartography that the
00:52:08first responder using in Catalonia. This is another survey implemented for this particular
00:52:16living lab, okay. So another thing about this is the...
00:52:27Okay, here. Okay, see, yes, yes, here we have the
00:52:31urgent actions, okay, deployed by the agents, the first responder of Catalonia. And here we can see
00:52:43another layer, okay. So the urgent action has been conducted recently in this living lab, okay. So
00:52:51we also have here more information, okay, about the type of fire, the codes, more the municipality,
00:53:01all right. So this is another layer included.
00:53:07Okay, can we conclude? Yeah, yeah, sorry.
00:53:10Yeah, I have explained most of them, most of these functionalities, okay. And the most important
00:53:23thing is the fire scene. I mean, the fire scene is the simulations included here. So one is a user. We
00:53:31have the two different modes of simulation. We have the standard fire preparation mode and the
00:53:35probabilistic simulation modes, okay. In this implementation has been created and implemented
00:53:42in four of the leading labs in Portugal, Catalonia, Canaria, and Germany, Netherlands. And this includes
00:53:49both type of simulation includes an adjustment factor that is based in the inclusion of the forecast
00:53:55of the listed index, that index I mentioned before, and provided by the Spire Weather Service. And this
00:54:02variable allows an improved forecast of the fire behavior by considering extreme welfare event
00:54:09condition when certain values of this index are found, okay. So here we have examples of the, of some,
00:54:19some fires, okay. And some fires simulated in the case of the, of the, of the, of the living lab,
00:54:31of the Catalonia living lab. So this is one example. Once we, uh, create a scene, the user can just, uh,
00:54:39click on here and put a initial point in some point anywhere, and then decided if we, if, if, if, uh, if
00:54:49preferred standard, uh, simulation or probabilistic. Probabilistic takes more time because it's changed,
00:54:54it takes, uh, takes, uh, in consideration and range of, uh, different variables as with the speed, with
00:55:01direction, uh, when our different master, uh, the, the life of master, uh, and, and so on. So the most use of
00:55:13the most, the most common use is the standard. And, okay. And then we can enter the name, okay. The name,
00:55:19and then we want to, to, to go to our fire test and then, uh, decided the, the duration of the
00:55:28site simulation. We can decide for one hour to 84 hours. And the, the, the, these are, these are
00:55:35recent implementation. We can use, um, historical weather. So we can move to a specific day in the
00:55:43year, uh, always there if, if there are weather, uh, in the server, but this is a new implementation that
00:55:49has been recently incorporated and decided it's at the start time at the five. And then the last
00:55:55thing we have to, to use is the, the model is when I use the, uh, worth model, the weather forecasting
00:56:04model and the constant, the constant is we, if we prefer to control, uh, in maybe two hours, no,
00:56:12although two hours, three hours, if we really know how was this wind speed, the wind direction,
00:56:17the different monster, all these parameters, and then run the scene. Once we have run the scene in
00:56:22a couple of minutes, we obtain the, um, this, the simulation. All right. And I want to just show the,
00:56:33a few outputs and, and then I finished or, uh, sorry about the, the time. Um,
00:56:39uh, a second is take some time to, to load.
00:57:00Okay. Now it takes advantage of the time it is loading to, to see if there is some questions in the
00:57:06audience. Something unclear. You would like to, to have more details. I don't see any hand up.
00:57:17So for example, for this simulation, can you tell us, um, there is a question from Jose. Is it running
00:57:24on your servers? A simulation? Uh, I can see the question. What is the question? The question is,
00:57:34yeah. Is the simulation running on your servers? Uh, yes. Yeah. The simulation is running on our
00:57:40servers. At least the fire scene, because there's a, there is another, uh, simulation, more complex,
00:57:47that is more, uh, high, high computational need that he's carrying in, in, in, in Corsica, in the,
00:57:55this island of France, in the, in this high performance service. But this, uh, fire scenes, uh,
00:58:01I have explained right now, the standard at probabilistic, he's running in our servers. Yes.
00:58:06And I want to, uh, okay. This is the standard, one of the standards. Uh, okay. Uh, very rapidly, very
00:58:14quick. Uh, this, we, we, we, we, we, we, this is, this fire. We just use the time slider to see how
00:58:21the fire is spreading in the, this case, in the, the hours we selected for the, for the simulation.
00:58:28And we have these different outputs, the arrival time, the rate of spread. We can see the rate of
00:58:34spread here. Okay. Okay. We have the legend and also the flame length. We also have the flame
00:58:42length output, the crown fire type, if this is surface, if it's, if it's, uh, torching or crap or
00:58:48crowning type of fire and the fire path. And this is the path following by the fire. And also we have
00:58:55the buildings impacted and the population impacted by the fire. This is important, important for the
00:59:00evacuation processes and three different risk indices. The initial attack assessment measures how
00:59:08difficult is to, uh, control the fire in the first two hours after ignition. This is a high,
00:59:15and this is the level of high. This is a very, it's starting to be a difficult, uh, fire to control.
00:59:22The fire behavior indices is also high that relates flame length and ROS and the growth potential
00:59:28indices is still high. So this is, this, these fires potentially, uh, be becoming, uh, bigger, right?
00:59:36So yeah, this is the main outputs after the fire simulation. Yeah. Sorry about the time, but yeah.
00:59:44So there is another question in the chat. Is the simulation model open source? Uh,
00:59:50and can it, can it be consulted on GitHub or? Is the simulation model open source? Or if so,
00:59:58can you provide some GitHub repositories? Uh, I'm afraid that you have to be involved
01:00:05in this, uh, in this, uh, in the project. I mean, to, to, to get the, um, the simulations. I mean, or yeah,
01:00:13this is a, this is a proprietary China Silva, uh, fire spreading modeling. So we don't have any GitHub repositories
01:00:23to get the simulation as open source for now. So yeah.
01:00:28Yeah. And about the input data, what, what are the input data you are using for the fuel and for the
01:00:34weather? For example, can you re, can you make a simulation in real time? You know that there is
01:00:39a fire starting now? Yeah. Yeah. If you, if you are in the same day, the same day. Do you have some
01:00:46forecast of the weather? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The forecast, as I mentioned, maybe I don't,
01:00:52I don't mention properly, but yeah, here we have, um, uh, the, um, the weather, the weather variables.
01:01:02Sorry. This is the, but it's the, maybe the spire weather. Oh. Okay. Or even the technosilva
01:01:10weather in this particular. Okay. So here we have the temperature. And so you can run the simulation
01:01:16with this weather. Yeah. Yeah. Also if, I mean, by default, when you click on the, the fire scene
01:01:25and start a simulation, the day and time is corresponding for today at the, at the hour,
01:01:31at the daytime, exactly the daytime, uh, when, when you are located, this is important to consider.
01:01:37If you want to simulate a wildfire and you are in another time zone, so you have to be careful with
01:01:42that, but you can select here, the start time, but by default, the, the duration of the, the,
01:01:50sorry, the start date is, is just quarterly. It's the, it's the, it's today, it's today date. And it's,
01:01:56it's going to use the weather model that this is for today forecast. There is a question from
01:02:02Concerso. Can everyone use it for free? Uh, I don't really know that particular thing. Maybe I'll
01:02:12Jan Cardil or Miguel Mendez can just add more information about it, but for free, I am not
01:02:18totally sure. This is a project. It is for European, it's for the fire, of course, project, but I don't
01:02:26know the limits of the use for free. Uh, maybe, maybe, maybe I can, I can support, uh, support you in
01:02:36regarding this question. So, uh, so the idea of this platform is to, uh, show in different living
01:02:45labs, the different innovation actions we have from the different partners in the, in the project. So
01:02:51I will show you some of these innovation actions in my, in the next presentation. Um, in, in this case,
01:02:59we have a, uh, an exploitation plan and a business plan, uh, to exploit this, um, this platform. Uh,
01:03:08so the platform is very modular and we can add or, uh, remove the different modules from the different
01:03:15partners. Uh, and then we have that exploitation and business plan to exploit the, the work, uh,
01:03:23developing this project. Anyways, during the project in the, in the living labs, uh, we have, um,
01:03:31a set of end users. So we have the different, different agencies working with us, uh, to test the,
01:03:39the platform and they can get access to the, to the tool, to the platform and, and they can test it, uh,
01:03:46simulate fires and, and validate how the, the models work. And about input data.
01:03:53So for weather, is it Copernicus and for the fuel map, what is it?
01:03:59We are, we, we have different sources of, uh, fuel data. So within work package five,
01:04:05we have two initiatives to get the, the fuel data. Uh, we have a pan European, uh, fuel type system.
01:04:14So basically we develop, um, well, with the, with the support, the CTFC and the, um, and university of
01:04:22Padova, they develop, uh, a fee, a surface, uh, both surface and canopy fuel layer for the whole
01:04:29Europe, uh, at 100 meter pixel resolution. So we have that layer and therefore we can simulate, uh,
01:04:36five behavior across the European union. That's what we did, uh, in the project, we run the simulations
01:04:44for the whole Europe with that, uh, surface fuel layer. And also we have another initiative for the
01:04:50Institute of Catalonia to develop high resolution fuel maps, uh, by fusion in, uh, LiDAR data,
01:04:59optical imagery, radar, and, and so on. So we have those kinds of initiatives, one for larger skills at
01:05:07European scale and other one for local scales to, to, to refine the final output. And, uh, can it be run
01:05:18in any of the living lab? So can, can you have some, some information from, uh, quite accurate for, for the
01:05:30fuel in all the living lab or is it easy to produce or because what is the, the, the, the, the spreading
01:05:37model you have behind? Is it your own spreading model or is it one that is already existing and
01:05:42used in other parts?
01:05:44Yeah, two, two things here. Um, so as I mentioned, we have the Pan-European, uh, surface fuel maps that we
01:05:53can use, uh, anywhere, uh, across Europe. However, in the living labs, we, uh, are using the, the best data
01:06:01possible and we reach out to the, the, to the living labs to get the, the, the best data possible in, in some
01:06:08of them, uh, and they, uh, share with us, uh, their high resolution fuels. And that's the data we are
01:06:17using in, in, to fit the, the first spread models in the, in the living lab, although we have the
01:06:22Pan-European, uh, fuel maps. And then, uh, this data fits the, the first spread model that we adjusted to, uh,
01:06:34estimate or simulate extreme wildfire events. And this is going to be explained in my, in the,
01:06:41following my presentation. Yeah.
01:06:43So just have a look if there is other question, no hands up, no question in the chat.
01:06:49So thank you, Adrian. And I will give the floor to Adrian then.
01:06:55Oh yeah.
01:06:56The second entry.
01:06:56The second entry.
