Summary
[edit]DescriptionFire in Peloponnese, Greece (Copernicus).jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 6 August 2021, shows the area near Karvelas in Peloponnese where a large fire has burnt more than 70 km2. Dozens of devastating fires are burning throughout Greece, triggered by a severe heatwave and strong winds. Despite the efforts of the emergency services, the fires are still not under control, and thousands of people have been evacuated. The EU Civil Protection Mechanism has been activated, and airborne and field resources from several European countries have converged on Greece to support the local authorities. The fire shown in this image is the object of an activation of the Rapid mapping module of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service. |
