Recent catastrophic and deadly wildfires highlight the importance of fostering a risk aware culture that helps communities understand the latent threat of large-scale wildfires, particularly as climate change and land management practices continue to increase vulnerability.
Prompts for Discussion:
During the first weekend of September 2023, a slow-moving storm system, officially known as an upper-level isolated depression (DANA), has affected Spain, causing heavy rains and floods. The storm, as seen in this image acquired by a Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellite on 3 September, caused two casualties in Huesca.
The Spanish Meteorological Agency (AEMET) issued a red alert for Madrid and Toledo, the highest of its three-tiered system. The Madrid City Council has urged residents of the capital to stay indoors as DANA creates a historic ‘exceptional and anomalous situation’.
The Copernicus Emergency Management System product portfolio includes two forecasting systems designed to support preparedness and emergency response for floods at European and global levels: the European Flood Awareness System (EFAS) and the Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS).
