17. Forest Fire Disaster Monitoring  Forest fire is a frequent natural disaster. It can cause great damage and loss to forest resources, the ecological system and people’s life and property.  There are many forest fire disasters happened worldwide. It is necessary to monitoring and detect forest fire at the beginning.  Now, Remote sensing technology is an effective and efficient way to monitor the forest fire.

19. Forest Fire Disaster Monitoring  In the 3rd band of IRS image, the high temperature objects are different from background objects, the higher the temperature of the surface feature, the brighter it is in the image.  HJ-1A and HJ-1B CCD images can show the detailed information of burnt area and smoke. Contrast image of fire spots and background in the HJ-1B IRS 3rd band Contrast of fire spots and background in the HJ-1B CCD image

20. Forest Fire Disaster Monitoring  Base on these characters of forest fire on HJ satellites CCD and IRS camera image, CRESDA developed forest fire extraction methods for HJ-1B IRS images, for HJ-1A and HJ-1B CCD images and for combined use of IRS and CCD images. The forest fire disaster in Shanxi Province on April. 2011 (from CCD image) Forest fire in Australia in Feb. 2009 (from CCD and IRS images)

21. Forest Fire Disaster Monitoring  In 2009, CRESDA built cooperation relationship with Forest Fire Prevention Headquarters, State Forestry Administration. CRESDA provided forest fire monitoring service on a daily basis from then on.

22. Forest Fire Disaster Monitoring  Till now, CRESDA provided about 2 years monitoring service using HJ satellites images to Forest Fire Prevention Headquarters.  CRESDA detected more than 600 early forest fire spot, provided more than 700 thematic products to Forest Fire Prevention Headquarters efficiently. The location information of early fire spot guided the early fire fighting and prevention, avoided the expansion of forest fire effectively.

40.  According to the CNSA’s arrangement, CRESDA plays the role of Charter ECO on behalf of CNSA. At the same time, CRESDA also plays the role of space resources provider. We have the responsibility to provide satellites data to CHARTER if some disaster happened.  From April 28,2008,CRESDA start to play the role of ECO formally. International Charter Space and Major Disasters

41.  Till now, CRESDA has been on duty for 21 times, received 21 worldwide disaster emergency calls. Disaster types cover earthquake, flood, volcanic eruption, hurricane and landslide.  CRESDA had provided CBERS and HJ data to Australia forest fire, Taiwan province typhoon, Bolivia flood, Pakistan flood, Chile earthquake, Japan earthquake and tsunami etc International Charter Space and Major Disasters
