As #EWED comes to a close, we look back on a project that strengthened the link between science and operations for understanding extreme wildfire behaviour. By building the #WildfireDataPortal and advancing shared knowledge, EWED has laid a strong foundation for better decisionโ€‘making. This journey continues with #ODET, which builds directly on EWEDโ€™s results to further boost Europeโ€™s preparedness and response to #ExtremeWildfireEvents #EWEs. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Follow the @ODETproject to stay connected and discover how this next chapter is turning knowledge into action.

Very nice overview of #EWED's work ๐Ÿ‘‡ Thanks for sharing, @PauCostaF!
๐Ÿ“ข We are sharing our factsheet on #EWED, a European project developed within the Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network (#UCPKN) that helped bridge science and operations to better understand Extreme Wildfire Events (#EWEs). ๐Ÿ‘‰ Learn more about the @EWEDproject: bit.ly/4smIJ4a ๐Ÿ”ฅ Goal: Generate new knowledge and understanding of extreme fire behaviour, and enhance the capacity to manage EWEs. โœ… #PCF coordinated the project, bringing together a multidisciplinary consortium and ensuring strategic alignment while contributing scientific, operational, and communication expertise across EWED.
