Description
Forest fires can be seen as endemic in Portugal and climate scenarios show that conditions will favor forest fires in the country. Policies, prevention and firefighting need to cope with future changes. Digital tools, like the ones proposed in the European FIre Integrated management plAtform (EFIIA platform) or in the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere - IPMA’s climate portal, will contribute to mitigate these future hazards.
