FIRE IN
The first European Fire and Rescue Innovation Network
Creating a network between agencies that deal with fires is essential to confront research institutions and companies with the aim of identifying solutions that meet the challanges to improve the response system.
| Conceptual compilation of the results collected in 2018 2019 during Fire-in workshops about communication | |||
| I. HIGH FLOW OF RESPONSE IN HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT | II. HIGH IMPACT, LOW FREQUENCY EMERGENCIES | III. MULTI AGENCY / MULTI-LEADERSHIP ENVIRONMENT | IV. HIGH LEVEL OF UNCERTAINTY |
1. Population:
| 1.Channels: Most effective communication’ channels to disseminate messages. | 1.Local/regional administrations: Ability to communicate appropriate messages. | 1.Build trust: a) Transparently b) Final possible scenarios considering the strategical objective. |
Inspired by the same modeling and mathematical laws used to predict the spread of pandemics, researchers at Texas A&M University have created a model to accurately forecast the spread and recession process of floodwaters in urban road networks. With this new approach, researchers have created a simple and powerful mathematical approach to a complex problem.
In the field of civil protection, just-in-time training is delivered to practitioners to allow for the rapid acquisition of specific skills or knowledge when the need arises. Drawing from the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in the demand for immediate training of medical staff and other first responders in different aspects of infectious disease management, the webinar will expand on the current and potential applications of this concept response organisations with best practices and methodologies.
Free Webinar Series – Every Wednesday | 3 June – 22 July
Fire is a natural process and as such, humans have been living with fire for a long time. However, recent wildfires in traditionally fire prone areas of Southern Europe have shown that fire behaviour has changed beyond what is currently understood. This shows the need for a better approach to prevention and adaptation. In Northwest Europe, traditionally seen as less fire prone, people on the ground are seeing the increased dangers of fire to their communities; yet awareness of their institutions and populations remains low.
