As wildfires rage in Podlaskie Voivodeship area of Poland, the EU's emergency satellite mapping service has been activated.

Crisis Management Commissioner Janez Lenarčič said: “Our EU Emergency Response Coordination Centre is closely monitoring the situation working to provide satellite mapping support to the national authorities. We are in close contact with Polish authorities and stand ready to assist further.”

The satellite maps help monitor the progression of the fires and damaged areas to support local response teams.
