Portugal's newly released 2026 Wildfire Susceptibility Map attracted national attention by highlighting where future wildfires are most likely to occur before they ignite. Powered by MEJOR's LUCI technology, the map combines environmental and historical data to identify high-risk areas, giving land managers, emergency services, and policymakers a clearer foundation for prevention, preparedness, and smarter wildfire mitigation.

Europe’s wildfire season is growing more intense, and response teams need better preparation before the next major incident. CHRIS helps fire agencies improve situational awareness, coordination, and decision-making when every minute counts.

MEJOR collaborating with LandOS on Portugal’s new 2026 wildfire susceptibility map, now live at 10-metre resolution across all 3,049 mainland parishes. Using LUCI, the project translates satellite and landscape data into a seasonal susceptibility layer, helping landowners and decision-makers understand where wildfire risk may be elevated this year.

CHRIS turns drone imagery into a live, geo-referenced 2D incident map while the drone is still flying. By stitching imagery in real time, supporting infrared and night operations, and showing what has changed between updates, CHRIS helps command and ground teams build a shared picture of a wildfire fast enough to improve response decisions.

MEJOR Technologies and DroneControl have partnered to strengthen emergency response and incident monitoring through a connected, real-time operational ecosystem. By combining live aerial intelligence with CHRIS mapping capabilities, this collaboration helps teams improve situational awareness, coordination, and decision-making during fast-moving events.

MEJOR Technologies is inviting drone operators from emergency services to join the CHRIS beta for free. Participants can expect about one hour of onboarding to connect their drone to CHRIS, followed by at least one feedback session to help shape the next release.

Wildfire management is shifting from reactive response to proactive prevention. In this blog, we explore how real-time mapping, AI-driven risk analysis, and smarter operational insights help emergency services and organisations anticipate wildfire threats earlier, coordinate faster, and make more informed decisions when every second counts.

Understanding a wildfire means more than knowing its perimeter. By automatically detecting the fireline and generating a live polygon from aerial imagery, CHRIS helps operational teams identify the head, flanks and tail in near real time, supporting faster decisions, better coordination and improved safety in the field.

Wildfires evolve rapidly, yet responders often rely on static maps or manual perimeter drawings that quickly become outdated. This article explores how CHRIS visualises wildfire progression in near real-time by converting aerial imagery into continuously updated fire polygons. By stacking fire layers from different moments in time, teams can clearly see how a wildfire spreads, where hotspots emerge, and which areas are increasingly at risk.

CHRIS allows incident commanders to compare fire behaviour across multiple moments in time. By visualising how a fire spreads and evolves, teams gain clearer insight into direction, speed and early expansion risks.
