Regional Haze Map
The Regional Haze Map is a tool provided by ASEAN Specialised Meteorological Centre (ASMC) to accurately disseminate the haze episodes in both Northern and Southern ASEAN. This map plays a crucial role in locating and identifying the size and status of haze, indicating whether it is domestic or transboundary haze across region.
ASEAN Hotspot Map
The ASEAN Hotspot data provided by the ASEAN Specialised Meteorological Centre (ASMC), is the main data that visually represents the locations of hotspots detected across the ASEAN region within the app’s interactive map feature. This map plays a vital role in monitoring and managing fire risks, particularly in areas prone to fires and agricultural burning.
Fire Danger Rating System (FDRS)
The Fire Danger Rating System (FDRS) is an early warning system used to assess and monitor the risk of forest and vegetation fires in ASEAN Region. It is particularly useful for land managers, fire control agencies, and the general public to be informed of the potential for fire occurrence and spread.
The FDRS categorises fire danger into different levels, typically colour-coded (blue, green, yellow and red) ranging from low to extreme.
