The app allows you to view on google maps the fires detected by the MODIS and VIIRS satellite systems detected in Calabria from 1 January 2000 to August 2021 using search parameters by time interval, search range width, type of satellite sensor
The Calabria Fire Stop Committee (or CSI Calabria) is made up of free citizens and non-partisan associations who gathered spontaneously to make a common front against the phenomenon of fires.
The goal of CSI Calabria is to safeguard the forest heritage and the Calabrian landscape.
The Calabria Fire Stop Committee aims to:
1. Investigate, report and inform civil society about the causes that led to the DISASTER of the summer of 2017 and the following years.
2. Promote a plural and multidisciplinary debate for the development of proposals to mitigate the plague of fires.
3. To create a network of associations on a municipal basis that deal with the safeguarding of the wooded heritage and the Calabrian landscape.
CSI Calabria was set up on 25 August 2017 in Camigliatello Silano (CS), placing two previous experiences as the basis of its action: the awareness raising and reporting initiative held in the municipality of Longobucco by the association 'Let's put out the fire, let's light up the future' and from the online petition on the “change.org” platform (https://www.change.org/p/al-presidente-della-regione-calabr…) entitled “CALABRIA fires 2017: let's stop the Environmental DISASTER! #stopincendicalabria ".
The opening video was made in the woods of Longobucco severely hit by the criminal fire.
A section is dedicated to the georeferencing of data on thermal anomalies detected by NASA's MODIS and VIIRS systems. Through filters it will be possible to search in a precise way on the map georeferenced from 2000 to October 2017 throughout Calabria up to a radius of proximity 20 KM from the selected point on the map.
They are indicative, incomplete and unofficial data. The studio just wants to give an idea of what happened in the 2017 season. The data present are from 2000 to 2021. On the map it is also possible to select the georeferencing of EFFIS news, a selection of news from the press on forest fires in Europe (In the app there are only those referring to Calabria until October 2017) , updated daily by the EFFIS team of the European commission. The news can be browsed by clicking on the relevant pinup, where the flag of the European Union is present. It will also be possible to view the data of thermal anomalies detected in the last 24 hours by the NASA satellites, data that are updated every hour and set an acoustic alarm when the app is active. The app is experimental and only wants to give the idea of what happens and has happened in Calabria. It does not replace the official data collected on the ground by the institutions in charge.
