Preparedness for forest fire
campaign 2013 • Regional level agreements between volunteers,

• Inter-regional agreements to fight borders fires
• Meeting with the regional and national entities to
plan the coming fire season and analyze of the last
summer fire campaign
• Prime Minister’s Operative Guidelines Issuing
• Daily bulletin to support the management of the state
air fleet
• Seasonal evaluation of the climatic and vegetation
conditions
6
• Collection at national level of the most relevant
information about the different regional fire fighting
organizations
• State financing in support to regional fighting and
planning fire activities
• Technical instruments in support to decision maker:
real time scenarios for the fire spread and satellite
hot spots detection

Preparedness for forest fire
campaign 2013 - contd
Expected Conditions
• Our probabilistic analysis models on weather and
climate conditions showed no significant signals
compared with the reference averages (months
analyzed May, June, July). Temperatures are
expected with slightly positive deviations from the
average
• Evaluations conduced on vegetation in the sample
sites showed no extreme variations compared with
the last year.
• Conclusion: until july, considered the analyzed data,
expected situation should be in line with the period
in question.
