Application of WSN in municipal action plans and self-protection against forest fires
This Action Plan aims to promote the implementation of WSN in municipal action plans and self-protection against forest fires (PAMIF and PAIF) in the Sudoe. The municipalities of the pilot areas of Spain and Portugal will draw up plans to implement the WSNs in PAMIF and PAIF in the municipalities. This will be supported by own knowledge and experience in the application of technology in other areas (e.g. air quality), as well as on the knowledge and experience provided by the Project (GT3 and R3.1). The municipalities will establish the specific objectives of the plan, the municipal services that will be involved in its implementation, the chain of command and operations and the protocols of action. They will determine the material and human resources, infrastructures, equipment and training and training of the equipment necessary for the integration of WSNs. They will assess costs and identify sources of funding. The municipalities shall submit the plans to the competent higher authority, which shall decide on them. These are the Agência para a Gestão Integrada de Fogos Rurais (AGIF) of Portugal and the Directorate-General for Forest Policy of the Autonomous Communities in Spain. Public administrations and agencies will decide on the convenience/need to strengthen prevention and early detection in forest fire defence policies in the Sudoe. They will assess the advantages and benefits of the application of wireless sensor networks to forest fire management. JCYL DG Cultural Heritage will lead this realisation in which all the administrations and public agencies participating in the Project will participate.
