Purpose. Improving of a forecast monitoring system of the fire hazard territory. Methods. To obtain a qualitatively new result the approach of Big Data including static (relatively slowly changing in time) data, ground information from meteorological stations and satellite data over a long period of time is applied. Findings. A forecast monitoring system of factors characterizing the fire hazard of the territory is developed. The system includes remote access service (providing data to users), database of forecast monitoring statistics, data processing and analysis subsystems. The structure of the system is relatively universal with the ability to complete and change both the functions themselves and the tasks to be solved. This allows considering the system as a preliminary stage of introducing modern approaches to fire hazard forecasting on the territory in the Republic of Belarus. The creation of the system is the beginning of a new forecast stage in the development of mechanisms of response to natural fires in the Republic of Belarus. Application field of research. The results of a forecast monitoring system of factors characterizing the fire hazard of the territory may be used in daily activities of the departments of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Belarus and the Ministry of Forestry of the Republic of Belarus to reduce damage due to natural fires.

Explosion Risk

Through a spatial and statistical analysis, the paper aims to assess vulnerability based on the service capabilities of public fire brigades in the Republic of Croatia. An assessment of fire hazard impacts was developed based on historical fire data over a twenty-year period for the counties and City of Zagreb, an assessment of exposure based on critical infrastructure data for the counties and City of Zagreb, and an assessment of resilience based on the coverage zones of fire brigades within the standard intervention time (15 min) for the counties and City of Zagreb. The results of the research have various potential applications and can be used as a basis for the future planning and development of the fire protection system to serve and protect people, material and cultural goods.

The article is devoted to the analysis of forest fires in Siberia. Particular attention is paid to three regions: Krasnoyarsk Territory, Irkutsk Region and the Republic of Yakutia. The causes of forest fires, weather and circulation conditions were analyzed as key natural factors of a high level of fire hazard in the boreal forests of the northern regions of the Asian part of Russia using the example of the territories of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Irkutsk Region and Yakutia. The typification of synoptic processes in the middle and lower troposphere is carried out, reflecting the prevailing contribution of blocking and mobile cyclogenesis processes to an increase in the area of distribution and the lifetime of forest fires. The long-term dynamics of temperature and humidity characteristics was estimated through the calculated values of the hydrothermal coefficient, which indicate a tendency to an increase in the probabilistic criteria of “insufficient moisture”, and in some years of weak droughts, which should be taken into account when predicting forest fires in the boreal forests of Siberia and Yakutia. A comparative analysis of the advective-dynamic factors of the occurrence of forest fires was carried out using the example of large forest fires in Siberia, starting from 1897. Particular attention is paid to the causes of the occurrence of large forest fires in the summer of 2019 and 2021.

In South Africa the modern outlook towards time may be said to have started in 1948. Both the two major observatories, The Royal Observatory in Cape Town and the Union Observatory (now known as the Republic Observatory) in Johannesburg had, of course, been involved in the astronomical determination of time almost from their inception, and the Johannesburg Observatory has been responsible for the official time of South Africa since 1908. However the pendulum clocks then in use could not be relied on to provide an accuracy better than about 1/10 second, which was of the same order as that of the astronomical observations. It is doubtful if much use was made of even this limited accuracy outside the two observatories, and although there may – occasionally have been a demand for more accurate time, it was certainly not voiced.
