Sažetak
The costal area of Adriatic and its neighboring areas belong to regions with high risk from forest fires, especially during the summer due to very warm climate with low level of humidity, densely spaced conifer forests, lot of tourists visiting various costal regions and islands, and many other case specific and organizational reasons. Although the fire fighting professionals are quite good organized and coordinated, the existing fire prevention/protection measures in the Adriatic region are far from being satisfactory. They are not existing, not implemented in the whole area, or not economically implemented. Therefore, Split-Dalmatia County from Croatia has initiated in 2007 preparation of strategic project target to Adriatic IPA funds, based on Split-Dalmatia County holistic approach to forest fires protection and prevention. HOLISTIC project was finally in 2013 accepted as Adriatic IPA project under priority 2 Natural and Cultural Resources and Risk Prevention, measure 2.2 Natural and cultural resource management and prevention of natural and technological risks. HOLISTIC project, with full name Adriatic Holistic Forest Fire Protection, has been expanded to include also earthquakes, another natural catastrophe important for Adriatic region. Now it is focuses on the prevention and damages mitigation of the natural risks, with special focus on wildfire and earthquake risks, aiming at improvement, promotion and strengthening of institutional capabilities in implementing policies and actions to reducing the causes and potential start of natural breakdowns to improve reaction and intervention readiness, to reduce the damages in areas of regions facing the Adriatic. The project has started on 1st January 2013 and its duration will be 30 months. It has gathered 20 partners from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia, leaded and coordinated by Split- Dalmatia County with the total project budget of about 9.3 million €. The project plans to develop common guidelines and standard procedures for policy and institutional enhancement, legislative and institutional regulations, prevention management codes and procedures in the domain of sustainable fire protection and prevention and public and historical buildings earthquake protection. They will lead to improved: • Legislation by the national and/or regional public bodies, • Codes of conduct by the Forest, Fire Fighting and Civil Protection Administration/Corps, • Operational methods by all technical and academic bodies involved in the project as beneficiaries and associates, as well as enhanced educational capacities. They will therefore ensure political sustainability after the end of the project in order to guarantee a long term benefits and impacts to the directly involved territories. The project plans to develop and experiment model by pilot projects in wildfire part of: • Wood life cycle based on commercial biomass use produced by fire prevention actions, • Indirect prevention campaign, • Fire risks predictive models and algorithms on micro-location scale adapted and tuned for Adriatic region, • Fire behavior modeling and spread simulation adapted and tuned for Adriatic region, • Monitoring, surveillance and fire outbreaks early warning system adapted and tuned for Adriatic region.
