9. Forest fire risk FIERS - FIre Events risk assessment through Remote Sensing • use of NOAA/AVHRR data to delineate fire risk areas and intensity for better operations planning • customers/partners: Civil Protection in I and F • Telespazio (I), Meteo France (F) • co-financed by EC (FP4) - CEO project

10. FIERS System architecture National Department of Civil Protection NOAA acquisition station Scanzano WWW Rome

13. FIERS • Full pre-operational mode in summer 1999 • first results are positive: • CP accesses daily to risk maps • significant correlation among risk level and N. of fires in a specific area

15. RAINBOW • Definition and implementation of Administrative Function Servers over the INTERNET • users will not only access but define data, function and their execution over the WWW • existing SW can be plugged inand interoperate

16. RAINBOW • Official Statistics (Surveys definition, data collection and field work management) • Local Administrations, with the ability to generate thematic maps on line • support distributed administrative procedure (e.g. cooperative working on documents) • access to information by citizens • multilingual (natural language)

17. RAINBOW partners • Statistical Institutes • BE, CH, DE, GR, PT • Administrations • Ministère Wallon de l’Equipment et des Transports, Regione Lazio, Municipalities in BE,DE,FR, GB,PT • Universities • Athens, Dusseldorf, Edinburgh, Notre-Dame de la Paix, P.Sabatier • Companies • Alcatel, DFKI, Oracle, Telespazio, Thomson

27. New developments:services for the L’Aquila Province (I) • Geographic-based information services are provided, based upon a mix of space technologies (remote sensing, space geodesy) • Information is shared among Province, Majorities and Mountain Communities and is possibly made available to public access

28. Support to identification and prevention of Natural Risks Observation of territory, especially devoted to risk entities Monitoring of landslide-prone areas, based upon GPS Monitoring of vegetated areas affected by fire Support to Environmental Prevention Monitoring of landfill and quarry areas Georeferencing of boreholes and outfalls in the watercourses New developments:services for the L’Aquila Province (II)

29. New developments:services for the L’Aquila Province (III) • Architecture : • local satellite Internet Service IPerSPACE workstations in the Office of Province, main Municipalities • shared data base, protected by external access and made available through WWW by Telespazio Service Center in Rome • metadata and direct geographic access to information

31. Brief Telespazio presentation • GIS-on-the Web projects for P.A. • Forest Fires • Remote Access to Geographic Data bases • Land and Environment information System • Conclusions

32. Conclusions (I) • Integration of satellite technology with GIS: Remote Sensing, Positioning, TLC • easy to use, simple, standard products/services • end-to-end demonstration projects with users

33. Conclusions (II) • EU role on legislation for environmental security and promotion of standards • Future needs: • seamless vertical (thematic) and horizontal (geographic) integration • DSS, what-if scenarios • higher speed of information transfer (through high bandwith TLC) and processing
