Abstract: |
The integral plan for forest fire prevention takes into account every aspect of the behaviour of the forest ecosystem in a forest fire, proposing adequate preventive measures for fuel management, considering the most important changes of forest use in recent decades so that fuel accumulation constitutes one of the main risk factors in the outbreak of large-scale fires. But also it includes the creation and maintenance of a road network and water supply infrastructure leading to rapid, safe and efficient fire extinction. However, in order to ensure that the above infrastructures function successfully within the concept of sustainable forest management, direct action on each and every cause of forest fires is proposed. Therefore, in addition to acquiring detailed knowledge of each of those causes, conflicts are analysed and conciliation systems established alongside a system of active dynamic vigilance with a presence throughout the territory, able adapt to changing hazard conditions. |
