Faciliate matching of CDM solutions to capability needs (DRIVER+)
- Faciliate expressing the practitioners needs and Gaps.
- Faciliate the understanding of these needs by owners, so that they can develop and advertise the innovative Solutions resolving them.
- Faciliate discovering of the innovative Solutions addressing the needs and Gaps.
Forest fires: climate change (DRMKC)
Understanding how future changes in climate will affect forest fires and associated emissions of greenhouse gases, in Europe and globally, is important to determine adaptation and potential of forests.
Forest fires: fire ecology (DRMKC)
Understanding ecosystem's vulnerability and potential to adapt to such changes can help developing proactive and post-fire regeneration strategies.
Forest fires: Technological Tools (DRMKC)
The increase in extent and intensity of wildfires creates more challenges for managing fire and firefighting. Technological tools can play a key role through enhancing the information flow and supporting the decision support systems used by fire commanders to take adequate decisions (evacuation or confinement) and coordinate the action of first responders.
Forest fires: social aspects (DRMKC)
Understanding how the changes in social and economic characteristics of the population can create conditions of increased fire across the various regions and countries, is a prerequisite to reduce the level of exposure of local communities through better landscape planning.
Forest fires: Fuel management (DRMKC)
Fuel management is critical to reduce the probability of ignitions and fire propagation. The increasing trend in fuel load and continuity in southern Europe over the last century can be attributed to land abandonment, inadequate landscape and forest management, and fire exclusion policies.
Adequate COP environment (DRIVER+)
Lack of a “Common Operational Picture” environment to integrate data sources and calculation results from different models that are crucial for decision making process from the perspective of the incident commander.
Incorporating information from multiple sources into incident command operations (IFAFRI)
The Ability to Incorporate Information from Multiple and Nontraditional Sources into Incident Command Operations
Providing medical assistance to casualties (DRIVER+)
Barriers in to provide medical assistance to casualties either by transporting them to a safe place or bringing medical service to the scene (when medical care is not provided by firefighters’ units) - especially in forest fires.
Resource planning for large scale and long-term crises (DRIVER+)
Limitations in the planning of resources (qualified personnel and equipment) for during large scale and long-term
Incorporating information from multiple and non-traditional sources (DRIVER+)
Insufficiency in the ability to report dangerous areas and situation overview from multiple and non-traditional sources (e.g. crowdsourcing and social media) into operations.
Monitor and counter mis- and disinformation (STAMINA)
Mis- and disinformation can have adverse effects on management and even cause cascading (e.g. civil disobedience and even insurrections)

Portfolio of Solutions web site has been initially developed in the scope of DRIVER+ project. Today, the service is managed by AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH., for the benefit of the European Management. PoS is endorsed and supported by the Disaster Competence Network Austria (DCNA) as well as by the STAMINA and TeamAware H2020 projects. |
