Monitoring, forecasting and informing people

the goal is to report a real situation, because the

state officers usually cant provide truth (they dontknow sometimes and, more, they are limited by

regulation for lie() (Order #386,

29.06.06 by Ministry of Emergency) and

requirements ofgoodstatistics)

We always inform the state of region and MOE and try to make

them to start putting out the fire; if the state of region cant

manage the situation, we require them to put in force the regime

of emergency situation

We take part in extinguishing the fire in conservation areas,

drained peats, radiocontaminated areaswhere its toodangerous to wait for state response

The procedure of fire rapid response was elaborated in 2010

We estimate the burned areas, because official statistic

is mendacious: official data for 2011 is 5 time less then

area been estimated using satellite images (1,8 mln ha

and 9 mln ha). FIRMS helps to find burned areas

through the large territory of Russia

blue points are FIRMS data, red line marks burned area

The most dangerous type of fire,because its hidden disaster

They start to burn in springbecause of grass fires notbecause of spontaneous ignitionand spread to the vast areas

They may be fixed by FIRMS only

because of grass fireand itsimpossible later, still to the disaster

Remote sensing analysis is developed enough for work against wildfires; since2008 our work based on RS.

We need not so much technology development of RS as expansion of RS use,first by state and MOE.

The principal reason of fire disasters destruction of forest managementpractice and extensive lie and concealing of information by government.

So the point is to eradicate the state lie. The role of RS the officers would

understand that its vain to conceal, because the objective information iswidespread.

Than, the RS data would be taken into account for the state statistic reports.

The high-resolution and as updated as its possible SI are very required, first of allfor extinguishing of peat fires.

SI and SI-based structures are required not for detection of fires, but forforecasting also.
