Map of Portugal displaying historical wildfire perimeters from 2001–2025. Burned areas are color-coded by frequency: light yellow for areas burned once, orange for areas burned twice, and dark brown for areas burned three or more times. The map highlights recurring wildfire hotspots across central and northern Portugal, illustrating how many of the same landscapes have burned repeatedly over multiple fire seasons.

MEJOR’s Maps Reach Headlines in Portugal: What the 2026 Wildfire Susceptibility Map Revealed About Portugal

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.

LUCI Supports Portugal’s New 2026 Wildfire Susceptibility Map with LandOS

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.
