Key drivers of the 15 October compounding event
The long-term drought (light green box) that drove the vegetation stress (precondition, in light brown) were amplified on 15 October by two additional drivers (Hurricane Ophelia and ignitions associated with agricultural practices in darker greenish colored boxes). The blue box corresponds to the Hazard (wildfires) and the red one to the socio-economic impacts.
