In recent years, the frequency and intensity of natural disasters has significantly and dangerously increased in Europe and in the world due to factors such as climate change, population growth and aggressive urbanization of rural areas. Every year, hundreds of wildfires destroy millions of hectares of forest. Rapidly delineating burned areas from satellite has become a crucial task for first responders and decision makers, to enhance the preparedness, response and recover phases during such crises. The European Union and the European Space Agency are intensifying their efforts to accumulate information on natural disasters. Data about past catastrophic events are collected by Copernicus Emergency Management System (CEMS) and categorized according to the type of event.
