In August 2022, Ceuta, a Spanish autonomous city located on Africa’s north coast, experienced the largest wildfire in its recorded history, which consumed over 5% of the city’s area, equivalent to more than 130 hectares of forest and ecologically valuable land. The affected zones included spaces of community interest and special bird protection areas, making the fire not only a humanitarian and economic disaster but also a critical blow to biodiversity. To support disaster response and long-term recovery, the Spanish General Directorate of Civil Protection and Emergencies, on behalf of the Área de Coordinación de Emergencias y Protección Civil de Ceuta, activated the Copernicus EMS Risk and Recovery mapping. The project aimed to (1) determine the spatial extent and severity of the wildfire damage, (2) assess the ecological significance of the impacted zones, and (3) evaluate the post-fire soil erosion susceptibility, given the altered soil composition and vegetation loss. The National Geographic Institute of Spain (IGN) provided authoritative datasets, including SIOSE land use and land cover data, DEM (5m), transport and hydrography networks, and population reference data, which together enabled accurate ecological, infrastructural, and population impact assessments.
