InduForestFire Project

Funding: Scientific Research and Technological Development Projects in the Prevention and Fighting of Forest Fires - 2018. Funded by national funds through the FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, I.P.

Project Code: PCIF/MOS/0129/2018

Project Acronym: InduForestFire

Project Designation: Interdisciplinary Methodologies for the Protection of Industrial Areas to Forest Fires.

Indu

The project provides solutions at the construction level that hinder or prevent the start and spread of fire in INDUstrial Zones, by defining the best construction network for each area involved.

Forest

Large FOREST fires were responsible for major damage in Industrial Zones. In this context, the project will propose measures for the management of vegetation (forest fuels) to minimize the spread of fire around industrial areas.

Fire

Based on FIRE behaviour simulations, the project intends to produce results for the design of public policies for the establishment of efficient fire management measures in Industrial Zones.
