The questions
- Which villages sit in the path of a fire under tomorrow's forecast wind?
- Which roads and bridges are likely to flood after a given amount of rainfall?
- Where should cooling centres go during a long heatwave?
- Which buildings and services are most exposed in a strong earthquake scenario?
What the twin would model
- Terrain, vegetation and fuel, from satellite and land-cover data
- Weather forecasts and climate projections
- Roads, evacuation routes, hospitals, water and power networks
- Where people are, including seasonal and tourist populations
- Past events, used to check the model against what really happened
Who it is for
Civil protection planners, regional authorities and municipalities, fire and emergency researchers, insurers and infrastructure operators.
Public sources we plan to start from
- European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS)
- Copernicus Emergency Management Service
- Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S)
- National Observatory of Athens — meteo.gr
- National Observatory of Athens — Institute of Geodynamics
Listing a source does not mean we have a partnership with it. These are public datasets we plan to evaluate.
