Recommendations for effective communication strategies on the risk of forest fire
IEFC is testing the “Mental Models” approach to propose innovative communication and awareness strategies for populations in areas affected by the risk of forest fire.
This approach proposes to study and analyze the differences in terms of knowledge, but also in perception of risk factors and impacts between experts and the population of risk areas. Identifying these elements will maximize the impact of future communication campaigns.
The IEFC will therefore conduct a series of interviews with these two categories of stakeholders in order to make recommendations and proposals to the key organizations involved in fire risk prevention.
Communication on the technological advances resulting from the FIRE-RES project on a European scale
The IEFC contributed to presenting the innovations developed throughout the FIRE-RES project both at the opening seminar of the general assembly held in Bordeaux in October 2024 (more information) and by organising a series of webinars on the various innovations of the project to improve the resilience of forest landscapes to extreme forest fires: more information.
