GEOINFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS) FOR FORECASTING FOREST FIRES

Abstract

Researchers and scientists have been trying to predict the behavior of forest fires for a long time. The need for concrete and reliable means of fighting forest fires, the main objectives of which are monitoring the state of various resources and ensuring their rational use, planning and forecasting, safety, has increased the demand for a geoinformation system. The article discusses geographic information systems used to prevent forest fires, the device of video surveillance scanner "Fire Watch", the German technology used in the territory of the Russian State University "MOTR "Semey Ormany" with the features of foreign programs using modern information technologies.In addition, the area of forest fires that have occurred over the past 15 years and the results of planting in forest areas after a fire are reflected (using the example of the Zhanasemey branch of the RSU "GLPR "Semey Ormany"). The main purpose of creating an information system for fighting forest fires is to increase the effectiveness of fighting forest fires. It is important to assess the amount of damage caused after the fire, so that with the help of an information system, employees can display and report damage in real time using mobile devices. The main recommendations in the article are the active use of modern technologies for fire fighting in order to increase the efficiency of fire extinguishing.
