Burned Area Mapping in Thesprotia

The burned area mapping service (NOFFi-OBAM) was employed to map the recent fires in the Thesprotia regional unit. The analysis was conducted using Sentinel-2 satellite images (spatial resolution of 10 m). The mappings revealed that a total of 522.55 ha of forest, farmland and grassland were burned.

It should be noted that the NOFFi-OBAM service is systematically employed during this fire season and its results are being exploited by the Central Forestry Service (Directorate General for the Development and Protection of Forests and Rural Environment of the Hellenic Ministry of Environment and Energy), the local forestry offices, as well as the General Secretariat for Civil Protection.
