Monitoring the latest major fires around the world
GEOSAT was aware of the latest fires that occurred this summer in several places around the world due to strong heat waves and very high temperatures, much higher than normal, and an extreme dryness that experts attribute to the effects of the climate crisis.
GEOSAT launched a monitoring campaign with its two satellites, G1 & G2, in different parts of the world, which were able to successfully capture images that clearly showed the affected zones by the devastating wildfires that ravaged large areas of Canada, Turkey, Portugal, Spain and Italy during the months of July and August.
GEOSAT also activated its Emergency Service to monitor the recent wildfires occurred in Avila, Spain, which is specifically designed to provide imagery in near real time (within 30 minutes). With this imagery, decision makers were able to take immediate action.
When it comes to coordinating local authorities and making sure everyone has access to the most up-to-date information, the accessible, user-friendly format of our imagery is essential. It allows everyone to be as responsive and proactive as possible, through the whole disaster management cycle: from mitigation and preparedness, to response and recovery.
We live in a constantly changing world where a quick response often makes all the difference.
In an emergency situation, access to accurate information before, and as soon as possible after, a disaster is a matter of life and death.
GEOSAT's team of experts is able to provide the customer with accurate and scientific-quality imagery, helping the customer to make reliable decisions for impact mitigation and emergency response under time pressure.
