EMSR379: Forest Fire in Artenara, Spain EMSR381: Forest Fire in Cazadores, Spain EMSR382: Forest Fire in Valleseco, Gran Canaria, Spain - Information Bulletin 120 EMSR379: Forest fire in Artenara, Spain EMSR381: Forest fire in Cazadores, Spain EMSR382: Forest fire in Valleseco, Gran Canaria, Spain - Information Bulletin 120 1 / 9 Gran Canaria, one of Spain’s Canary Islands, was struck by forest fires in two locations recently – in Artenara on 10 August, Cazadores on 12 August and Valleseco on 17 August (in the same area as the Artenara fire). The Copernicus EMS Rapid Mapping module was activated for each of these forest fires and tasked with providing delineation and grading products. Media reports state that these forest fires were caused by human actions but were aggravated by drought conditions and strong winds. The situation was unfortunately predictable due to the prolonged heatwaves during summer 2019, which have affected the territory of Gran Canaria. According to media reports, around 10,000 people at a single point in time have been evacuated as a result of these forest fires, while the number of first responders engaged rose above 1,000, supported by 16 aircraft. On 13 August the EMS Rapid Mapping module was activated by the Operational Coordination Center of the Directorate General of Civil Protection and Emergencies in Spain following a request from the Government of the Canary Islands for the forest fire in Artenara. The next day, one grading product was produced using optical imagery acquired from the SPOT6 satellite to get an overview of the forest fire situation in the area. This grading product showed that 1,163.3 ha (11.63 km2) of land, 308 residential buildings and 2,453 people were affected by the fire. The product also highlighted that most of the land affected is covered by forests, arable land and pastures. On 14 August, the Copernicus EMS Rapid Mapping module was activated to provide grading products for the area of Cazadores. Optical imagery acquired from SPOT6/7 satellite on the same day was used to produce one grading product. The grading product showed 90.6 ha (0.96 km2) of land, consisting mainly of shrub, had been damaged or destroyed by the fire. The fires in Artenara and Cazadores were officially declared “controlled” on 13 August. 2 / 9 On 17 August, the Copernicus EMS Rapid Mapping module was activated again to provide delineation and grading products for the new and very threatening fire affecting the municipality of Valleseco, in the vicinity of Artenera. Optical imagery acquired on 20 August by the SPOT7 satellite was used to produce a delineation product which showed 8,481.3 ha (84.8 km2) of the burnt area at the time of image acquisition. A first Monitoring product was delivered with fresh imagery acquired on 21 August. It showed the fire was largely stabilised as it had only progressed by 271 ha in 24 hours to 8,751.7 ha. This stabilisation was later confirmed by local and regional authorities. A further delineation product was delivered on 22 August which shows the burnt area to have further progressed by 473 ha to an area of 9,224.7 ha (92.2 km2). The grading product of Valleseco delivered on 26 August shows the final burn scar covered 10,453 ha (104.5 km2), having damaged or destroyed 2,622 ha (26.2 km2) of forest and affected over 13,000 inhabitants. Copernicus Emergency Management Service’s Rapid Mapping products are generated by comparing reference information (pre-event satellite imagery, acquired prior to the event) with information derived from post-event satellite imagery acquired by Copernicus Sentinel satellites and/or so-called Contributing Missions. Upon request by the authorised user, preliminary information on a disaster (as in the case of Artenara) can be delivered through a First Estimate Product (FEP). The FEP is a new item in the Rapid Mapping product portfolio and has been available since April 2019. It provides an extremely fast (with 2-3 hours from image acquisition), general assessment of the emergency situation within the AoI. The FEP helps to further refine the specific requirements of the requested delineation or grading products as well as to support the coordination of emergency relief actions. In the case of a wildfire, it enables to provide a preliminary idea of the affected perimeter and any hotspots of active fires. The maps and vector data are available for viewing and download on the EMS Website: EMSR379: Forest fire in Artenara, Spain, EMSR381: Forest fire in Cazadores, Spain and EMSR382: Forest fire in Valleseco, Gran Canaria, Spain.

The Copernicus Emergency Management Service (EMS) uses satellite imagery and other geospatial data to provide free of charge mapping service in cases of large natural disasters, human- made emergency situations and humanitarian crises throughout the world. The maps are produced in 7 / 9 two temporal modes: Rapid Mapping consists of the provision of geospatial information in support of emergency management activities immediately following a disaster. Different types of maps are produced, for example, to ascertain the situation before the event (reference maps), to assess the geographical extent of the event (delineation maps) or to evaluate the intensity and scope of the damage resulting from the event (grading maps). Risk & Recovery Mapping consists of the provision of geospatial information in support of disaster management activities that are not related to immediate emergency response but rather to pre-disaster risk assessment or post-disaster recovery monitoring. This applies to activities dealing with prevention, preparedness, disaster risk reduction and recovery phases. The EMS can be triggered only by or through an Authorised User (AU). Authorised Users include the National Focal Points (NFPs) of the EU Member States and countries participating in the Copernicus programme, as well as European Commission services and the European External Action Service (EEAS), including the EU Delegations. Beneficiary end users of EMS include entities and organisations at regional, national, European and international level actors in the field of civil protection and humanitarian aid. Interested Users may trigger the service by sending a Service Request Form (SRF) directly to the European Response Coordination Centre (ERCC): [email protected]. The Copernicus EMS also provides Forest Fire (EFFIS), Floods (EFAS) and Drought (EDO) Early Warning products for Europe as well as at global level. The Copernicus programme Copernicus, the European Earth Observation and Monitoring Programme, is served by dedicated satellites (the family of Copernicus Sentinels) and a set of Contributing Missions (additional satellites from existing commercial and national agencies). Since the launch of Sentinel-1A in 2014, the European Union set in motion a process to place a constellation of almost 20 more satellites in orbit before 2030. Today, seven fully operational Sentinel satellites (Sentinel-1A and -B, Sentinel-2A and -B, Sentinel-3A and -B and Sentinel-5P) are in orbit to continually provide operational satellite information. This satellite data is complemented by and validated with in situ data. Six Copernicus Services transform the full, free and open data into value-added information by processing and analysing the data to transform them into services and products such as informative maps, data sets and reports. These six services are: The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service The Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service The Copernicus Land Monitoring Service 8 / 9 The Copernicus Climate Change Service The Copernicus Emergency Management Service The Copernicus Security Service Copernicus is coordinated and managed by DG GROW in the European Commission. It is implemented in partnership with the EU Member States, the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), EU Agencies and Mercator Ocean. The European Commission Joint Research Centre offers the technical support of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service whilst the Emergency Response Coordination Centre of DG ECHO assists civil protection actors with the handling of the EMS mapping requests on a 24/7 basis.

    ILTRE . A YUNTAMIENTO DE VALLESECO Saluda del Alcalde Estimados vecinos: es motivo de alegría, sin duda, volver a dar la bienvenida E en la celebración de las Fiestas de San Vicente Ferrer. Siempre he conferido a estas fechas un valor especial, pues ya desde la niñez han simbolizado para mí un punto de inflexión en el calendario, evocando el inicio de las vacaciones, la llegada del buen tiempo, el final de curso, etc. Hoy, asumiendo mi responsabilidad al frente de este Ayuntamiento, como un inmenso regalo al que corresponder con la máxima responsabilidad y gratitud, he trasladado aquellas valoraciones a este nuevo periodo. En este sentido, esta nueva edición de la Fiesta sirve como el mejor exponente para demostrar que uno de nuestros más firmes objetivos, el de ensalzar nuestras tradiciones más arraigadas, no es sólo una promesa, sino una firme realidad que viene reflejada en el cariño y esfuerzo dedicados también a la organización de todas y cada una de nuestras fiestas, no sólo patronales, sino también a aquellas que tienen lugar en nuestros barrios a lo largo de todo el año. Vivimos unos tiempos de transformación, de cambio de modelo, que afecta a las diferentes administraciones locales, a la gestión cotidiana de nuestros pueblos, a la prestación de servicios para nuetros vecinos. Por ello, debemos sentirnos más orgullosos que nunca de nuestro pueblo, de su Fiesta, y de su gente. Pues pese a estos cambios, Valleseco sigue manteniendo los mismos servicios y las mismas competencias, manteniendo la cercanía que supone un Ayuntamiento, como primera puerta de entrada en la Administración.

On this, the second ‘Go Slow’ tour, we were able to enjoy some of the best of the island’s rugged volcanic scenery, appreciating the contrasts between the different habitats such as the bird- and flower-rich Laurel forest and the dramatic ravines, and the bare rain-starved slopes of the south. The sunset from the edge of the Big Caldera in the central mountains, the wonderful boat trip, with our close encounters with Atlantic Spotted Dolphins and Cory’s Shearwater, the Gran Canarian Blue Chaffinch and the vagrant Abyssinian Roller, the echoes of past cultures in the caves of Guayadeque, and the beauty of the Botanic Garden with its Giant Lizards were just some of the many highlights. There was also time to relax and enjoy the pools in our delightful hotel overlooking the sea. Good weather with plenty of sunshine, comfortable accommodation, delicious food and great company all made for an excellent week.
