Uso de geotecnologias como suporte à difusão de informação para a prevenção de riscos ambientais no estado do Acre, Brasil

The present study presents information produced in the Acre State Monitoring Unit of Hydrometeorological Events through the elaboration of the daily weather and hot spot bulletins for public decision-makers and local society. The increasingly frequent and intense fires and floods in the region have created the need for a system that allows monitoring. This monitoring carried out at the Hydrometeorological Monitoring Unit for Extreme Events aims to map hydrological events and follow daily precipitation, hot pixels, fire risk, river levels, temperature and wind speed. The data processed and analyzed are distributed through the daily bulletins via e-mail to managers, technicians, members of the State Commission for Environmental Risk Management - CEGdRA and the general public. The bulletin is also published on the website of the State Secretariat for the Environment - Sema (www.sema.ac.gov.br). The bulletin is subdivided between the most critical seasons of the year, one is specific for hot (dry) outbreaks and one for floods (full) and helps to adopt measures to prevent extreme events and is of fundamental importance for the state of Acre, making it easier for public managers to make decisions regarding critical events, either for command and control or rapid response at times of extreme drought or flood helping to mitigate damages or even to avoid them.
