Nadhir — wildfire early-warning platform for Algeria (FIRMS detections, CFFDRS fire-weather index, zone alerting)
# Nadhir (نذير)
Wildfire early-warning platform for Algeria. _Nadhir_ is Arabic for "the one who warns".
Nadhir ingests satellite hotspot detections, groups them into probable fires, computes a
daily fire-weather index for every commune, and notifies people who have subscribed to a
zone. The interface ships in Arabic (default, RTL), French, English and Kabyle.
> **Nadhir is not an official source.** It is not a government warning system and must not
> be presented as one. Detections are satellite estimates with real false-positive and
> latency characteristics; see the limitations below before relying on any of it.
## Data sources
| Source | State |
| ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| NASA FIRMS (SNPP, NOAA-20, NOAA-21, MODIS) | connected, ingesting |
| NASA FIRMS science archive (`VIIRS_SNPP_SP`) | source of the persistent-industrial-source registry — its `type` label is absent from the near-real-time feeds |
| Open-Meteo (weather, fire-weather index, winds) | connected |
| OpenStreetMap (admin boundaries, settlements) | seeded from `data/geo/`, ODbL |
| EUMETSAT MTG FCI | credentials valid, **feed health only** — the granules are netCDF, which the edge runtime cannot decode, so no detections are written |
| EFFIS / GWIS …
