Sigri Project: the Development of the Fire Vulnerability Index
نویسندگان
چکیده
The SIGRI (Sistema Integrato per la Gestione del Rischio Incendi) pilot project, funded by ASI (the Italian Space Agency), aims at developing an Integrated System for the Management of the Wild Fire Events. The system should provide satellite based products capable of assisting all the phases of the fire contrasting activities: prevision, detection, and damage assessment/recovering. This paper concerns the development of a fire vulnerability index based on the Fire Probability Index (FPI) introduced by Burgan et al.. The original index takes into account mainly the status of the died vegetation by means of the extinction moisture and the relative greenness. The green vegetation water content is also considered in order to improve the performances on the Mediterranean area. Furthermore, the evapotranspiration parameter has been introduced to take into account the effect of the solar illumination in determining the humidity existing in the died vegetation.
