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: 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: fire meteorology and danger rating (DRMKC)
Danger rating index is an important real time indicator for the fire fighters. It sums up constant (fuels, topography) and variable (weather) factors that affect the initiation, spread and difficulty of control, and subsequent fire damage of wildfires on an area in a single number that can be easily visualised and used for early alerting.
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
Secure cross-agency documentation, sharing and tracking (STAMINA)
Efficient and secure sharing of the data necessary for decision making has proven to be challenging in the recent COVID-19 .
Adequate collaboration and communication guidelines and methodology (STAMINA)
management is a collective effort encompassing various organisations that to work seamlessly together across domain and administrative borders.
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)
Adequate Crisis Management legislation (STAMINA)
Provide a sound legal basis for various aspects of Management in all parts of the CM cycle.
Use of virtual reality to enhance preparedness for large scale evacuation (DRIVER+)
Shortcomings in the use of virtual reality to enhance of first responders in case of large scale evacuation, as a support for and .
Backtracking of potentially infected persons (Johanniter Austria)
If a patient is identified as infectious after he/she was transported by the ambulance, we have to backtrace all contact persons of the ambulance car team and test them, as the car is not disinfected after each transport.
