Definition and scope of EFFIS
– System established by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) and DG Environment (ENV) as focal point
for information on forest fires in Europe (1998)
– Provides EU level assessments during both pre-fire and post-fire phases, thus supporting fire
prevention, preparedness, fire fighting and post-fire operations
– Complements national fire information systems through the provision of harmonised data,
methods and standards
Users
– EC Services, European Parliament, national/regional forest fires and civil protection services of
EU and non-EU countries
– FAO, United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, FAO Silva Mediterranea
Operation and development
– Development by the JRC. Until 2015, operation supported by the EC Directorate Generals ENV,
ECHO, JRC
– From Oct. 2015 onwards, operation financed by GROW EFFIS becomes part of Copernicus
EMS.

Since 2016 – the following EFFIS components will be operated outside JRC:
(1) Fire danger forecast
• Short and long-term fire danger forecast
• Monthly and seasonal fire weather forecast
(2) Active fire and burnt area mapping
• Active fire mapping – MODIS/VIIRS
• Medium spatial resolution (approx 300 m) near-real time mapping of burnt
areas (twice a day in pan-European region) (MODIS/VIRS/Sentinel3)
• High spatial resolution weekly burnt area mapping product (Landsat/Sentinel-2)
