Activation reason:
A wildfire has raged from Thursday noon (15/07/2021) in the island of Samos, Greece, burning large areas of forest and rural areas. Fuel type and steep relief make the work of firefighters extremely difficult. Kokkari village and two hotels have been evacuated for precautionary reasons. A considerable firefighting effort is ongoing (16/07/2021). Copernicus EMS Mapping products will be used mainly by the fire service during firefighting operations and by local authorities (Forest Service, Regions of North Aegean, Municipalities) for recovery and restoration planning of the affected area. Copernicus EMS Rapid Mapping is requested to provide First Estimate, Delineation and Grading products.
