šŸ”„ Intense wildfires broke out on the Greek island of Chios on 22 June, prompting the government to declare a state of emergency.

Several villages were ordered to evacuate as hundreds of firefighters worked to contain the blaze. The fires have caused significant disruption, including power outages, water shortages, and damage to property.

šŸ›° This Copernicus #Sentinel2 image, acquired on 23 June, shows a dense smoke plume rising from the island and drifting south-west across the Aegean Sea.

The open data provided by the #CopernicusEU Sentinel satellites is key to monitoring and mapping the extent and effects of wildfires around the world, informing damage assessments and supporting emergency management operations.
