Pedro Venâncio (AGIF, Portuguese Agency for the Integrated Management of Rural Fires) - SIFOR - An application ecosystem that facilitates and encourages the use of remote sensing data in rural fire operations
Pedro Venâncio introduces the Portuguese Rural Fire Information System (SIFOR) and demonstrates how the GeoSIFOR WebGIS enables users to easily access, visualise and interpret available data.
SIFOR is an integrated application ecosystem designed to centralize and share technical information across Portugal’s Integrated Rural Fire Management System (SGIFR). Within this ecosystem, GeoSIFOR acts as a user-friendly Geographic Information Viewer (WebGIS) that allows users without specialized knowledge in GIS or remote sensing to easily leverage geographic and satellite data. Through its agile interface, non-expert users can access complex information, for instance, from the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem (CDSE), Eumetsat, LSA-SAF, NASA, as well as satellite-derived products processed by other public entities such as DGT and IPMA.
