When wilderness begins to burn, global monitoring systems immediately start measuring potential impacts. According to GDACS, a green forest fire notification has been issued for Brazil.
Key facts from the monitoring reports indicate that forest fires can have a low humanitarian impact based on the burned area and the affected population and their vulnerability, as noted by GDACS. Furthermore, the USGS estimates the number of casualties for each earthquake for the Prompt Assessment of Global Earthquakes for Response (PAGER) product, with a graph showing the current fatalities estimate, according to GDACS data. The platform also provides links to information from sources including EC-JRC (28), WMO (1), INFORM (2), JRC (1), and others, as reported by GDACS.
Background
Based on the source material, international monitoring agencies track natural hazards through coordinated systems. GDACS provides centralized links and data streams from various global entities to assess developing emergencies worldwide.
