Perceptions of the risk determines, to a large extent, people's responses in emergency situations. So, to increase resilience of Arctic communities and people to wildfires, is very important to build an effective culture of fire risk management, in which differences between the ecological role of fire and the risk-prevention measures wildfires are clearly understood.
The INFRA service aims to compact and simplify access to relevant information/products which stem from diverse sources. Most importantly, it makes it possible to manage, integrate, select and transform such sets of information into a tailored product that is useful for the respective users. Modularity in which INFRA have been developed helps to tailor the service to the user's needs.
The INFRA service is based on several modules and IT platforms, the most important being:
1 – INFRA-AEGIS – A web-GIS platform through which it is possible to present, combine and integrate all the informational layers produced by INFRA, or collected from many other sources and services.
2 – INFRA-SENTRY - A platform through which to distribute information and messages to users. Messages can be easily handled and adapted to specific needs, and will be generated following the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) Standard.
The novelty of the INFRA service lies (i) in the attention to the local scale, and (ii) in having developed tools suitable for generating messages that are tailored to the category of users you intend to reach.
