Credits, Methodology, Mission and Recommendations

P7CO® EcoResupply aims to democratize access to critical environmental information, with accuracy and transparency. The Fire Map shows, in near real time, the active occurrences in Portugal (mainland and islands), based on public data.

VOST vs. Copernicus — rules, styles and semantics

VOST is always Area of Interest (AOI) — never “Delineation”. Polygons display only area popups (badge per source), and the pins remain official ANEPC/Fogos.pt (no VOST info on the pin).

• Popup (areas only): blue badge for Copernicus, red for VOST, metrics (area, perimeter, radius), date (if in KML), and note “approximate values”.
• Pins: “Ongoing” uses flame icon; other statuses use soft dot (official data only).
• Heatmap: cop-delineation = 1.0, cop-aoi = 0.25, vost-aoi = 0.20, half-life 24–36 h.

Methodology (summary)

• We show only active occurrences published by ANEPC/Fogos.pt.
• Intensity (heatmap): \( I_\text{raw}= (1 + 1\cdot\text{personnel} + 0.5\cdot\text{vehicles} + 6\cdot\text{aircraft}) \cdot w(\text{status}) \cdot 0.5^{\Delta t/h} \). Example: 80, 20, 2; “Ongoing”; \(\Delta t=6h, h=12h\) ⇒ \(I_\text{raw}\approx 72.9\).
• Normalization: \( I_{\mathrm{norm}} = \min(1.35, I_{\mathrm{raw}}/P95) \). Example: \(P95=60\), \(I_\text{raw}=72.9\) ⇒ \(1.215\).
• Visual distribution: \( R_{\mathrm{km}} = 2 + 1.1\sqrt{r} \). Example: \(r=112\) ⇒ \(R_{\mathrm{km}}\approx 13.6\ \text{km}\).
