OF
NATIONAL
INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR PREVENTION AND EARLY
WARNING OF FOREST FIRES
DURATION: Three years from May 2011 – May 2014,
IMPLEMENTING AGENCY: Crisis Management Center (CMC)
Overall Goal:
To reduce occurrences of massive forest fires by strengthening
the capacity for prevention and early warning of forest fire.
Project Purpose:
To strengthen the capacities of the CMC for transmitting
information to the relevant national authorities for prevention
and early warning of forest fires and coordination.

The activities to achieve the set objectives:
1.1. Design of a Forest Fires Risk Assessment Methodology,
1.2. Identify and collect data and information useful for the forest
fire risk assessment,
1.3. Establish an integrated GIS system/database, including
software, hardware and other equipment with the necessary
training,
1.4. Prepare and publish GIS hazard maps for forest fires,
1.5. Design a Forest Fire Damage and Consequence Assessment
Methodology,
1.6. Workshops and training for the involved institutions.

 As a result of the implemented project activities,
the Conceptual design of the system has been
turned into a real Web-based system, as a tool and
technical exchange platform for cross-institutional
communication and multi-sectoral forest fires risk
management.
The new system is recognizable as Macedonian
