OPPORTUNITIES OF ADAPTING SPECTRAL IMAGERY IN RESCUE SERVICES OF THE NATIONAL FIRE AND RESCUE SYSTEM

Abstract

The tasks carried out by the National Rescue and Firefighting System (KSRG) require highflexibility of the units of this system. In the event of a crisis over a large area, it may be necessaryto map the crisis area in order to provide assistance effectively, but a simple orthophoto map maynot be sufficient. Bearing in mind the possibility of various threats, the publication analyses thepossibility of using spectral imagery for analyses and mapping of areas affected by a crisis situationto improve the activities provided by the National Rescue and Firefighting System, especially in thecontext of activities provided outside Poland on the basis of international agreements, and so alsoin cases of natural disasters that do not threaten Poland.
