Project HOLISTIC - holistic approach to forest fire prevention and protection in Adriatic area - WP6 - Adriatic Terrestrial Forest Fire Monitoring and Surveillance System (AdriaFireMonitor)

The goal of project HOLISTIC, co- funded by IPA Adriatic Cross-border Cooperation Programme is to propose a sustainable and joint holistic approach to cope with forest fire and seismic risk in Adriatic area. Focus of Work Package 6 (WP6), discussed in this presentation, is on several applications of modern ICT solutions in pre- fire, fire and post-fire activities, particularly in fire prevention and protection using capabilities of Cloud Computing and Internet. This activity includes: • Development of action plans for integral forest fire monitoring and surveillance system installation adapted for specific Adriatic characteristic. • Integration of fire fighters vehicles GPS tracking system in forest fire monitoring and surveillance system, as well as systems for forest fire risk and behaviour modelling implemented in WP5. • Burnt area mapping supported by tablet and GPS and related damage assessment supported by EFFIS Rapid Damage Assessment (RDA). The activity of WP6 also includes the installation of pilot projects in various regions, appropriate staff training and establishment of virtual research centre for application of ICT in forest fire fighting. The project gathers 20 partner institutions with diverse level of experience with video forest fire monitoring and different legislation of forest fire fighting and video surveillance. After comprehensive analysis of existing terrestrial video based forest fire monitoring in Mediterranean region and legislation in various countries, a model suitable for Adriatic region, named AdriaFireMonitor, was derived as well its as appropriate user rights reports, emergency intervention code of conduct with distribution of tasks and guidelines for forest fire monitoring location determination based on holistic approach. One of WP6 output is pilot installation of advanced terrestrial video based automatic forest fire monitoring and surveillance system. Within the project a visible video cameras based pilot system will be installed on selected locations in each partner regions, as well as dual (visible + IR) based system in three selected regions. Fire fighters that are on call duty in operating centre will be the main system users. The project has started in January 2014 and it is now in its final stage. The paper describes current achievements and future expectations.
