Greece is stepping up its fight against wildfires with a groundbreaking new tool — the National Forest Fire Risk Assessment Map. For the first time in decades, authorities are using long-term data to assess fire danger by municipality, not just by county. This revolutionary approach allows for smarter planning, targeted prevention, and faster response in high-risk zones. With wildfires getting more intense every year, this could be the change Greece — and the world — desperately needs.

00:00Greece just launched a game-changing wildfire map, and it could save entire forests from going up in smoke.
00:06For the first time in decades, Greece is tackling wildfires with a bold new strategy.
00:11It's called the National Forest Fire Risk Assessment Map.
00:14Unlike daily forecasts, this one looks at long-term fire risks based on 20 years of data.
00:20It factors in climate patterns, vegetation types, and how often areas face high fire danger.
00:25The result? Every municipality is now ranked as low, medium, or high risk.
00:31That means no more one-size-fits-all plans.
00:34Instead, Greece can now target resources, prevention, and protection where it matters most.
00:39Experts are calling it a historic breakthrough for civil protection.
00:43And with wildfires growing more intense every summer, this couldn't come at a better time.
00:48It's a smart move by a country on the front lines of climate change.
00:51And it might just set the standard for fire-prone regions around the world.
