Sažetak
With the rapid growth of Earth's population and the recent increase in a number of natural and man-made disasters, science is faced with an important task of providing services that will increase security and protection for all citizens. One of those services is Copernicus, an EU programme devoted to the monitoring of the Earth and its ecosystems which provides, among wide arrange of other applications, various information that helps in prevention, preparedness, response and recovery activities related to numerous kinds of disasters. Copernicus services (thematically divided into Atmosphere, Marine, Land, Climate, Emergency, and Security services) are based on satellite observations of the Earth and in situ data, and pieces of information are provided to users free of charge. The aim of this presentation is to showcase capabilities of services provided by Copernicus and Copernicus Emergency Management Service (EMS) with a focus on wildfire-related services, which are of utmost importance considering problems with wildfires that Croatia is facing every year during so- called fire seasons. These services are European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) and the prototype Global Wildfire Information System (GWIS).
