«Geoinformation Systems» UE participated in the activation of the International Charter Space and Major Disasters

«Geoinformation Systems» UE took part in the activation of the International Charter Space and Major Disasters to assess the consequences of wildfires in Kazakhstan from April 8 to 24, 2025.
Large forest and steppe fires occurred in the Abay, Kostanay and Pavlodar regions. The situation turned more complicated due to gusty winds and tall dry grass, which caused the fire to spread faster. The burnt area reached more than 500 sq. km. The activation of the Charter resources was triggered by "Kazakhstan Gharysh Sapary" («KGS NC») National Company.
«KGS NC» and the National Institute of Space Research of Brazil (INPE) acted as project managers. «Geoinformation Systems» and INPE acted as value adders in the compilation of thematic maps. Space agencies from China, South Korea, Brazil, Russia, the USA, France, the European Union and PLANET USA Company provided 400 programmed and archival space images.
Based on the provided data, «Geoinformation Systems» generated and provided five thematic maps to the International Charter Space and Major Disasters.
