(e) Ability to promptly detect various types of disasters, such as forest fires and volcanic eruptions

Forest fires could be of either category.

Many of those systems made use of satellite remote sensing data to categorize the fuel type, which was an important factor in determining the risk that a fire would spread.

It is anticipated to be of use not only for pure detection of a fire event in large areas, but also for its ability to locate the fire, assess the extent (in space and time) and type of the fire and provide this information to local authorities in a timely manner.

Not a fire? It's not a fire?

Fire, earthquake, theft, public liability, group insurance... industrial stuff and so on, right down the line.

Ground launched munitions can be divided into a further 2 categories tube artillery launched and rocket launched.

What about fires?

(c) Progressively reduce human activities, such as forest fires and the emission of harmful air pollutants caused inter alia by energy production, that substantially decrease the natural productivity of any forest and increase the risk of forest fires.

In case of fire, call 119.

This might start a fire.

(b) Uragan experimental development of an Earth space system of forecasting natural and man made disasters in order to mitigate their effects and of criteria for their classification and decoding

Disaster risk mitigation and preparedness are integral to the planning of human settlements in countries prone to natural disasters.

The system and mechanism for monitoring vegetation fires in Brazil was presented, where fires were detected using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite data in a GIS environment, coupled with recent statistics on fires.

(o) Analyse the causes of, and address solutions to, threats to forest health and vitality from natural disasters and human activities, including threats from fire, pollution, pests, disease and invasive alien species

Fire is the biggest problem.

The fire disaster happened at about 10 00am and was put out at about 10 30am. It is the snifting valve inside that triggered the fire.

Similarly, in response to the global escalation of wildfires, the Global Fire Monitoring Center had been established by the Government of Germany with the aim of providing early warning of fire danger, near real time monitoring of fire events interpretation and synthesis of fire information and an archive of global fire information, all of which could be accessed through the Internet.

Combining the fuel type with other parameters enabled fire suppression authorities to combat forest fires more effectively, thereby dramatically reducing annual losses and achieving significant savings in fire suppression costs.

The images were also used to study and monitor volcanoes, geology, icebergs, ice fields, fire and flooding.

Such impediments may be the consequence of natural phenomena, such as fire, storms or flood, or of human actions, such as war, riots or revolts.

When fires had been suppressed, the FS employed satellite imagery to map and assess changes in the landscape caused by the fires.

Deliberate or accidental fires have had disastrous effects on the ecology and economy of the areas concerned.

The wok shot caught fire three times.

d) public installations designed for protection against fire, flood or any other natural disasters,

A total of 39,778 forest fires were detected in 1995 and 31,944 in 1996 using NOAA 12 data.

The Wildland Fire Advisory Group of the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction has been working towards enhancing international cooperation and collaboration on preventing and combating forest fires.

Global Wildland Fire Advisory Group.

We shall take it out of the fire area. Over.

Pre disaster uses included risk analysis and mapping disaster warning, such as cyclone tracking, drought monitoring, the extent of damage due to volcanic eruptions, oil spills, forest fires and the spread of desertification and disaster assessment, including flood monitoring and assessment, estimation of crop and forestry damages and monitoring of land use change in the aftermath of a disaster.

Not all natural hazards were disasters fires, floods, earthquakes and drought all existed as part of natural cycles.

(a) Disasters such as floods, earthquakes, forest fires, oil spills, drought and volcanic eruptions affect large parts of the globe and coordinated international efforts are required to minimize their impacts.

The study would follow at least one environmental catastrophe, chemical or oil spill, forest fire, manufacturing plant explosion or a natural disaster, which could be analysed using satellite imagery.

But smoke alarms don't prevent fires.

Tom saved her from the fire.

Following the attack a fire broke out and spread rapidly.

Pre disaster uses include risk analysis and mapping disaster warning, such as cyclone tracking, drought monitoring, the extent of damage due to volcanic eruptions, oil spills, forest fires and the spread of desertification and disaster assessment, including flood monitoring and assessment, estimation of crop and forestry damages and monitoring of land use change in the aftermath of disasters.

Preview now includes data on cyclones, earthquakes, floods, forest fires, tsunamis and volcanoes, as well as a new application providing frequency and exposure to hazards (see http www.grid.unep.ch preview).

What is that? A fire? I hope it's the j.G. Carpenter company burning down.

Only the harbor watch was aboard when the fire started.

A fire. Yes, a fire. It's always the insurance that pays.

Making a forced detour around fire area.

So how does electricity ignite residential fires?

I mean, they make ears for burn victims.

They accounted for approximately 50 per cent of the total number of fires over the entire country.
