FLogA (Fire Logic Animation) is a set of methods and an interactive, Web-based, user-friendly softwaretool which allows the user to draw a forest area on the folder anywhere in Europe, insert fire ignitionpoints, generate on the fly all input data layers required for a wildfire simulation, and then simulate andanimate the behavior of the evolving fireline under different weather conditions. FLogA utilizes onlypublicly available non-proprietary data, software libraries and Web services. It adopts a distributed, open,service oriented architecture that is easy to maintain and extend. Wind, as the most dynamic parametersaffecting a wildfire's behavior, can be sampled around the NE and a reference speed value reported bythe closest METAR station, to generate multiple simulation scenarios. FLogA generates informativegeo-interactive animations of simulation results with color representing a fire property of interest, suchas the flame length or the forest cells burn probability, while the terrain of the forest in the backgroundmay be colored according to a the last of the forest (e.g., elevation, land cover, etc). GEO-animationsallow the user to "fly-over" any part of the affected terrain as the fire is progressing. In addition, FLogAoffers drawing tools for editing the forest's spatial properties (e.g. change fuels cleanings, define zonesetc.) to generate alternative "what-if" simulation scenarios. Furthermore, it can be set to automaticallymonitor any European forest area and trigger fire simulations as soon as "hotspots" are posted on theInternet by satellite services.
