Lead organisation: Universität für Bodenkultur Wien (Academic)

The information portal allows those interested to use an interactive map to query forest fire events and create statistics or graphics. In addition, it is also possible to report forest fire events. The Location is interactive on the web GIS map, additional information such as cause, duration and fire area can be entered and photos / videos are uploaded to the fire incident.

Policy uptake explanation

For a comprehensive documentation of the forest fires in Austria since 2008 vegetation fires are raised at the institute for silviculture. With the support of the Austrian Forest Fire Research Initiative (AFFRI), Alpine Forest Fire Warning System (ALP) FFIR and FIRIA (Fire Risk and Vulnerability of Austrian Forests under the Impact of Climate Change), a WebGIS based system was created.
