As #EWED comes to a close, we look back on a project that strengthened the link between science and operations for understanding extreme wildfire behaviour. By building the #WildfireDataPortal and advancing shared knowledge, EWED has laid a strong foundation for better decision‑making. This journey continues with #ODET, which builds directly on EWED’s results to further boost Europe’s preparedness and response to #ExtremeWildfireEvents#EWEs.
👉 Follow the @ODETproject to stay connected and discover how this next chapter is turning knowledge into action.
📢 We are sharing our factsheet on #EWED, a European project developed within the Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network (#UCPKN) that helped bridge science and operations to better understand Extreme Wildfire Events (#EWEs).
👉 Learn more about the @EWEDproject:
Proud to see that the work started with #EWED continues through the @ODETproject 👏
Looking forward to what’s next in advancing Europe’s preparedness for extreme #wildfire behaviour 🔥
🚀 Pleased that #ODET has officially started!
Building on the results of the @EWEDproject, ODET will enhance Europe’s preparedness for extreme #wildfire behaviour through improved decision-making tools and collaboration. 🔥

This report brings together practical guidance for organisations addressing the challenges of EWEs. It highlights key recommendations such as analysing historical wildfire data, managing uncertainty during complex fire scenarios, strengthening specialised data collection, and making use of tools like the #CLASS model and the #WildfireDataPortal (WDP). The document also emphasises the value of international training and knowledge exchange between practitioners and scientists.
📌 Available in English and Spanish.
📌 Accessible through the EWED website and the WDP, offering practical resources to support preparedness and planning.
