Mapping serves as the primary visual record of a landscape's vulnerability and its current state of emergency. In Bariloche, these maps fulfill three essential roles:
Real-Time Monitoring: Utilizing satellite data (such as NASA's FIRMS) to detect "hotspots" and active fire fronts in areas like Los Alerces National Park and the wildland-urban interface. Web: ambiente
Risk Assessment: Identifying areas with high "vegetation fuel availability" and socioeconomic vulnerability. Research shows that in Bariloche, fires often cluster in southwestern neighborhoods where vulnerability is high.
Evacuation Logistics: Guiding the safe movement of tourists and residents. In January 2026, mapping was essential for the evacuation of over 3,000 tourists as fires advanced. Ecological and Economic Context
The urgency behind a "full map" of these fires lies in the unique value of the Patagonian ecosystem.
Bariloche (San Carlos de Bariloche) is in a high-risk wildfire zone, especially during the dry summer months (December–March). Official real-time maps are your most reliable source.
| Layer | Source | Resolution | |-------|--------|-------------| | Active hotspots | FIRMS (NASA) / Copernicus EMS | 375 m / 20 m | | Burned severity | Sentinel-2 (dNBR) | 10 m | | Vegetation fuel | Landsat 8 / 9 + LiDAR (If you have) | 30 m | | Topography | ALOS PALSAR (12.5 m) | 12.5 m | | Infrastructure | OpenStreetMap + Municipal CAD | Variable |
A nivel provincial, el Ministerio de Ambiente y Cambio Climático suele publicar reportes diarios y mapas actualizados en sus redes sociales y web oficial. Estos mapas suelen tener el detalle de si un incendio está "activo", "controlado" o "extinguido".
