Introduction - 1SIGRI IntroductionSIGRI, Introduction
The three years SIGRI project (ended in December 2012) is part of the program "Natural and human induced Hazards" that the National Space Plan of ASI (Italian Space Agency) identifies, in the field of E th Ob tiEarth Observation:
Floods: PROSA/OPERA,Landslide: MORFEO,Volcanoes: SRVAir quality: QUITSAT,q yOil spill: PRIMI,Earthquake: SIGRIS,Fires: SIGRI.Fires: SIGRI.
The objective of the project is the development of an integrated decision support system for the civil protection from Forest Fires based on Earth Observation (EO) satellite data protection from Forest Fires based on Earth Observation (EO) satellite data. The reference user, the Italian Civil Protection Department (DPC), has been involved in the consolidation of the system and service requirements, both in the demonstration and validation h l phases on sample areas.

Objectives
1 The SIGRI (integrated system for the management of Forest Fire risk)project concerns the implementation of a demonstration system capableproject concerns the implementation of a demonstration system capableof generating products based on earth observation data (MSG,TERRA/MODIS, HR and VHR optical multispectral data, SAR), integratedwith data from other sources (spatial data, cartographic maps andmore) for supporting the management of the forest fire phenomenon inits different stages before during and after the eventits different stages: before, during and after the event.
2 The products developed in the framework of the SIGRI project respond tod h f f l l lneeds concerning the forest fires management at local, regional or
national level. Hereinafter we intend to analyze the possibility of furtherdeveloping some of the project products to make them suitable for thedeveloping some of the project products to make them suitable for theWUI fire management needs.

Introduction - 2Strategic products: The products of this level can be considered as static products during the entire forest fires risk season. In strategic mode the system can provide products to support the prediction/prevention of the phenomenon:

Tactical products: The products of this level can be considered as "dynamic" for the entire forest fires high risk period. The system will generate products useful in the management of current events, by detecting the event, (hotspot detection based on SEVIRI/MSG), by allowing the simulation of fire propagation, by providing the dynamic map of vulnerability:p p g y p g y p y

Results and ValidationThe products validation followed two approaches:statistical (5 years fire data) and deterministic (selection of specific dayscharacterized by many fires)characterized by many fires).
For the validation we usedFPI index (corrispondent index ‘FWI’) of JRC EFFIS projectFPI index (corrispondent index FWI ) of JRC EFFIS projectAIB/AIBFN reportsCOAU Action LoggMODIS and MSG Hot-Spot detection
Statistical: pixels recognized as high-risk follows the general behaviour ofStatistical: pixels recognized as high risk follows the general behaviour offire occurrence. OR a greater number of pixels with high FPI correspondsto a greater number of events;gDeterministic: taking into account individual days; the areas affected bythe fires are mainly those in which the index has assumed higher values.

risk of fire (class 5, FPI between 60 and 100).
It’s clear the high correlation between the twoi i h l li i il fiquantities that, at least preliminarily, seems to confirm
the ability of the calculated FPI index in accordancewith written documents (research and algorithmspecification) to capture the variability of the availablevegetation to burn, taking in consideration thevegetation state (dry biomass) and meteorologicalg ( y ) gconditions.
Validation: statistical approachValidation: statistical approachFig. 1 A, gives the daily distribution of fires occurred in Sardinia on August 2011. Fig. 1 B gives the percentage of pixels analyzed with respect the total number corresponding to the whole region. Fig. 1 C reports the total number of pixels FPI > 70 and finally the Fig. 1 D gives the percentage of pixels with FPI > 70 vs the number of analyzed pixels The images show as the number of pixels daily analyzed gives the percentage of pixels with FPI > 70 vs the number of analyzed pixels. The images show as the number of pixels, daily analyzed can vary as consequence of the presence of clouds or invalid pixels in the MODIS image.
This could prevent the id tifi ti f l ti identification of a correlation between the number of pixels with high FPI values and the number of fire events. In fact, ,the number of pixels on which the FPI index has been computed ranges from the 10% t th 70% f th t t l

For each event (report of Italian DPC), in a reasonable spatial range, of about ±1 km, we look for pixel having MFPI > 60.Sardinia 08/2010: if in the area of interest is present a pixel with high MFPI (MFPI > 60 box green) or a cloud (box gray) or all pixelsSardinia 08/2010: if in the area of interest is present a pixel with high MFPI (MFPI > 60, box green) or a cloud (box gray) or all pixelshave MFPI < 60 (box red). In 2010 a high percentage of fires occurred in areas having an high hazard index (80% of the events);
In 2011 this percentage results equal to the 45%.
The variability is in agreement with the meaning of MFPI index and with the circumstance that in Italy more than the 90% of the fireevents occur as consequence of the human intervention without which, even in adverse environmental conditions caused by hightemperatures low humidity dry vegetation most likely there would be no phenomenontemperatures, low humidity, dry vegetation, most likely there would be no phenomenon.

ConclusionsThe SIGRI project funded by ASI ended on December 2012 It was devoted to develop The SIGRI project funded by ASI ended on December 2012. It was devoted to develop satellite based products aiming at supporting the management of the forest fires.
Th l f h f h SIGRI d b bl l d This paper aims to clarify that some of the SIGRI products can be suitably applied to the problem of the management of WUI fires. In fact, the spatial resolution of some of the product is strictly related to the spatial resolution of the used satellite images the product is strictly related to the spatial resolution of the used satellite images and these can be selected in accordance with the requirements without loss of validity of the products itself.
In particular this is true for the products:- burned area estimate;

burned area estimate;- fire hazard index.
