| HiRes burnt area mapping that is regularly updated in 2022 is now available for the area around Katherine, NT. Go To Quick Links > Current HiRes burnt areas |
| A regularly updated map of the dryness (curing) of vegetation across the NT is now available. This can be useful for planning fire management. Go to Track Fires > Current Curing. |
| The fire histories for southern WA have now been updated with late 2021 fire scars that were obscured by cloud. The NAFI Infonet reports have also been updated. |
| The NAFI Infonet reports for 2021 for both Fire Scars by Year and Fire Histories are now available. Go to the Reports tab, or to https://infonet.org.au. |

The final burnt area mapping (fire scars) for 2021 is now available for download from NAFI. Go to Data > Fire scars by year. A further update for December fire scars in the
Pilabra and southern WA is coming soon.
The SavBAT reports for 2021 are now available. Go to https://savbat.environment.gov.au/ The long term and 10 year fire histories have also been updated to cover 2021 and are available for download. Go to Data > Fire history 2012-21 and Fire history 2000-21. There will be a further update for late 2021 fire scars for the Pilbara and southern WA fire histories soon. The Google Earth links have also been updated - go to Data > For Google Earth > Past years' fire scars to download an updated link -the other Googel Earth links will update automatically. The completed hiRes fire scar mapping for 2021 for the Kimberley, Darwin region, Arnhem Land and Queensland is now available. Go to Track Fires > Recent HiRes Fire Scars |

You can now view recent HiRes burnt area mapping for Queensland updated monthly. This is derived from 10-20m Sentinel-2 imagery
and is displayed in the same monthly colours as the frequently updated 250m NAFI mapping. This mapping captures finer details of
burnt areas than the 250m mapping, but may not be as accurately dated and may miss some burnt areas in cloud-prone regions.
Go To Quick Links > Current HiRes burnt areas

To give people quick access to useful NAFI maps, a "Quick Links" pop-up menu is now on the top right of the NAFI map viewer.
The Quick Links menu will allow you to turn on and off the hotspots, switch to the hires mapping, and display recently burnt
area as a guide to fuel levels.

10m resolution HiRes burnt area mapping for the year 2020 for all of Queensland is now available on NAFI.
Go to Track Fires > Recent HiRes Fire Scars > HiRes Firescars 2020. The mapping is produced by the Queensland
Department of Environment and Science.

The NAFI Mobile app (see below) has been improved after feedback. It now enables viewing of hotspots
when you are zoomed further out and has easier to use menus. This version of the app is free to download.

A NAFI Mobile app is available so you can view the latest NAFI fire scars and hotspots on a phone.
The app can also be used offline with stored maps. Go to the iPhone App Store or the Android Play
Store and search for "NAFI". This initial version of the app is free to download.

The Fire scar by Year and Fire History reports have been updated with the most recent year's (2020) fire mapping.
Go to Reports tab.
The Fire Histories for 2000-2020 and 2011-2020 are also available for viewing under the Fire History tab and for download under the Data tab. The historic mapping in the rangelands of Western Australia has been updated using Sentinel-2 imagery to identify burnt areas that may not have been mapped - back to 2015. The new mapping is provided at the same resolution (250m) as the other MODIS based NAFI mapping. However the increased sensitivity of the Sentinel-2 satellite data picked up missed fire scars in these arid landscapes that can be difficult to map. We will look to have similar updates for earlier years and other rangeland areas into the future, depending on funding. None of these mapping updates are in regions covered by Savanna burning projects which have accurate and validated MODIS fire scar mapping. |

The fire scar mapping for 2020 has been finalised for northern Australia (north of 20S). It is available for download (under Data > Fire scars by year)and for reporting
(under Report). SavBAT reports for 2020 are now available. The entire fire scar mapping for 2020, including southern Queensland and the arid zone will be finalised before the end of February 2021.
