‘Advancing Wildfire Civil Protection Scenarios into Risk Planning and Governance’
The FIRE-SCENE project will contribute to building new and developing further existing competencies, skills and knowledge in wildfire risk management concept by developing novel methodologies and tools for an integrated risk governance, assessment and planning approach to address emerging Civil Protection Challenges (CPC) due to extreme wildfires and megafires in the Mediterranean area under changing climate conditions. Along four Pilot sites in Spain, Italy and Greece, three wildfire CPC will be
approached:
i) Wildfires impacting to the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) in peri-urban areas.
ii) Wildfires impacting tourist villages and resorts .
iii) Wildfires impacting protected areas and recreational sites.
With the participation of local stakeholders, six predefined end-users targeted Risk Assessment and Planning tools and three Risk Governance dimensions (policy coherence, participatory approaches and institutional coordination and funding) will be developed. Learning exchange and trainings will be
conducted across Pilots/CPC, enhancing risk awareness towards novel risk scenarios. Project results will be proactively disseminated at local, national and EU level, expanding the project impact to other changing wildfire risk landscapes which may have similar challenging Civil Protection needs.
