The European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) provides early warning and monitoring of forest fires in Europe. EFFIS analyzes fire trends, computes daily fire danger forecasts based on weather data, detects active fires with satellite imagery, maps burnt areas, and supports firefighting operations. It is a comprehensive system that monitors all aspects of forest fires from short-term danger to long-term risk, detection, impact assessment, and response coordination.

Editor's Notes
- Databases, early waringn, remote sensing, simulation models, communicating agenceis and communities, internet.
- 158 621 hectares compared to an annual average of 483 896 hectares, the burnt area and damage assessed in 2008 have been the lowest on record since 1980 for Southern Europe
- Fires in Turkey occur mainly on the western part of the country, and along the coasts

- As discussed, here are slides showing the new interface of the current situation (still in the internal version of EFFIS only), the new fire danger classes in the MIC application (extreme level 1 and level 2) and the 2010 seasonal forecasts for temperature end precipitation. The maps indicate expected anomalies from averages conditions of the months. As you can see for the EU Mediterranean countries in the hottest months conditions are expected close to the normal ones, or slightly wetter and cooler, especially for Southeastern countries. Scandinavian and Baltic countries on average are expected to be drier and warmer than normal.I assume you already have slides to present the MIC application and I hope you do not plan to have a life demo, as we are having problems with IDAS server in these days. Cheers Andrea
