- (FR) | For the largest part, the project will build upon the knowledge produced from previous projects, e.g. the SFEDA project, which have employed fast fire detection techniques using UAV and an integrated alarming and fire fighting forces mobilisation platform. However the FRED project will go beyond that knowledge by employing state of the art techniques for fuel mapping and description, based on LIDAR and Very High Resolution Data. Fuel mapping is essential for the estimation of potential fire risk before the commence of the fire season, in the attempt to effectively prevent forest fires and mega-fires in particular. Furthermore, the project will test a fire danger index which is based not only on the potential fire behaviour but will also integrate anthropogenic activity, local knowledge and past experience. The project will provide an applied and holistic approach for the development of a forest fire management strategy applicable to the entire Euro-Mediterranean region. An added value of the project is that the developed approach will be tested in several areas across the Mediterranean covering a wide range of vegetation formations and different “firescapes”, which ensures its transferability to all fire prone environments.

- (FR), LIFE-DEMORGEST , Guidelines for preventing wild fires, LIFE+ DEMORGEST project
- The LIFE+ DEMORGEST project created seven demonstration plots in Catalonia and has tested forestry practices to reduce wild fire risk in Mediterranean forests while maintaining forest productivity. The test included the use of a new fire risk map and stand-level vulnerability indexes, which can help land owners and forest managers to assess the wild fire risk of their stands using stand parameters such as height to the canopy, height of the undergrowth or distance from the undergrowth to the canopy. Taking this wild fire risk assessment as a basis, the project produced the recommendations to reduce the risk of wild fires.
- The project has also produced a layman`s report to explain the project and its results.

- An Integrated European Model to Protect MEDiterranean Forests from Fire
- The aim of the project is to develop and transfer, through common approach at transnational level, an integrated model for the prevention of forest fires. Focus is on the prevention phase fundamental for environmental, economic, cultural and social sustainability. In particular, 3 thematic areas will be dealt with to ensure an integrated and effective model: 1) The development of shared methods and techniques for risk mapping, assessment and monitoring, by integrating new elements/risks not taken into consideration in existing risk models and prevention plans, e.g. characteristics of the forest, vulnerability of the territory, and climate change; 2) An economic and eco- compatible sustainable model for forest maintenance incl. the valorisation of biomass; 3) Information and training activities for responsible environmental behaviour in risk areas and/or in risk situations. 3 action phases will be carried out to guarantee concrete results which can be transferred to each partner/territory:
- Exchange of information and joint development of methods and instruments; transfer and concertation; pilot implementation, adoption and mainstreaming of the methods and tools developed. The partnership is made up of 9 organisations composed of 6 territorial partners from IT, ES, GR, HR, PT, CY and 3 universities from IT, PT and FR.

- (FR) | FRED plans to utilize on the research and findings provided within the project – especially from the 1st aspect before mentioned, dealing with methodology and techniques for risk mapping, assessment and monitoring within own research and preparatory work for the subsequent piloting activities, i..e the development of implementation methodology: defining state-of-the-art in the field, to build upon existing tools and approaches, as well as organizational setup for pilot case demo.
- Furthermore, FRED will to some extent rely on the methods and techniques for risk mapping, assessment and monitoring, by integrating new elements/risks not taken into consideration in existing risk models and prevention plans, e.g. characteristics of the forest. The fuel mapping in FRED will be taken to a new level by LIDAR equipped UAV for vegetation data collection.

- The FIREPOCTEP project with a total budget of €5.6 million, of which €4.22 million, 75% is funded by the Interreg VA Spain-Portugal Cross-Border Cooperation Program – Interreg POCTEP (2014-2020).
- FIREPOCTEP is framed within the Thematic Objective 5 of the POCTEP Program: Promote adaptation to climate change in all sectors. In addition, it responds to the investment priority, with respect to the POCTEP Program, 5B: Promoting investment to address specific risks and ensuring adaptation to disasters and development of disaster management systems.
- With a duration of 2 years and 6 months (01/07/2020 – 31/12/2022), this project is designed to address these challenges, favoring development between the neighboring border regions of both countries, allowing the strengthening of forest fire prevention and extinction systems in both States and the improvement of resources for the generation of rural employment after the Covid-19 health crisis.
- Its objectives are:
- – Identify Strategic Management Zones to minimize the risk and impact of large fires through integrated landscape management in the face of global climate change.
- – Encourage public and private investment through pilot experiences in the framework of the Circular Green Economy and the investigation of new market opportunities.
- – Educate the permanent and occasional rural population about the risk of major forest fires, good preventive practices and self-protection. Train and equip the personnel of cross-border operations. (FR), FIREPOCTEP
