3. Goals and Objectives

• Ground Forces Scatter

• Ground Forces Registration

• Erroneous aspects held for the progress of a fire

• Lack of fire prevention measures

• Lack in means, equipment and personnel

• Lack of communication and cooperation on a national, regional and local level

• Ill-prepared local authorities • Lack of knowledge of resources

position in cases of emergency • Late utilization of surplus forces (army,

volunteers) • Lack of technological advances • Immediate Intervention

• Constant Education

• Lack of forest registry

• Illegal Disposal Areas

• Lack of forest and forest road maps

• Lack of low plantation deforestation

• Lack of productive timbering

• Lack of discreet responsibilities by authorities

• Incompetent planning

• Lack of cooperation between forestry and urban planning

• Lack of research on modern approaches regarding environmental and forest conditions

• Registration of forest qualitative characteristics per area of interest

4. Organization Models for Civil Protection

4.1 Community co-operation in the field of civil protection

4.1.1 Prevention, Preparedness & Response

4.1.2 Information4.1.3 Intervention4.1.4 Post-disaster analysis and recovery4.1.5 Community tools for civil protection

4.2 The Community mechanism for civil protection4.2.1 The Mechanism's tools

• Monitoring and Information Centre (MIC)

• Common Emergency and Information System (CECIS)

• Training program

• Civil protection modules

4.2.2 Civil Protection Structure in GreeceThe main objectives of a Plan of Civil Protection are:

• To safeguard human lives, health and the environment as a whole;

• To guarantee public service continuity and that of major facilities and utilities;

• To guarantee business continuity;

• To protect cultural heritage and environmental resources.

5. Software Presentation

Simulation Software

ARTEMIS simulation project is made up of:

• a database storing all the necessary data as resources, incidents, points of interest, and vegetation

• a web interface providing access to 3 sub-modules.

Simulation Module

Forest Fire Simulator

Resources Allocator Module

Forest Fire Incidents Module

The information depicted is the location of the fire, and a series of tables, namely:

• Times (when the fire started, when it was noticed, when action was initially taken, when the fire was put under control and when it was finally extinguished)

• Fire Start (the exact location of the start of fire, the environment of the landscape it started, the reason, and the the surface it burnt before it was extinguished)

• Fire (The nearest agent present)• Meteorological Data (Humidity, Temperature, Wind

intensity, direction and exposure)• Means (how many humans took part in extinguishing the

fire and how much equipment was occupied)

Software Potentiality

• Preparedness

• Prevention

• Response

• Problem facing

8. Appendix I – Dissemination Site Presentation

The dissemination forum site is comprised by two main parts:

• An information part, available to everyone, comprised by the Layman's report for ARTEMIS – Forest Fire Risk and information regarding the project as e.g. this Dissemination Plan.

• A discussion forum, available to registered users (project partners and authorities) for discussion on the areas of interest of the project (Paggaio Mountain, National Park of Machairas, S'Illeta – Port de Soller and the Belles forest area)

General Information• Home – general information about ARTEMIS dissemination report• Goals and objectives – information regarding the goals and

objectives of the project• Organization models for civil protection – information regarding civil

protection in the EU• ARTEMIS software – capabilities offered by ARTEMIS project in

brief• Utilization of software in organizations – an approach on how the

software can assist in helping the authorities integrate it in their operation.

• ARTEMIS dissemination plan – steps need to be taken in order for the authorities to use ARTEMIS software seamlessly

ARTEMIS Dissemination Forum

The registered user gains access to all the fora of the website. These fora are:

• General Discussion – Discussion about ARTEMIS project

• The Belles Forest Area – Discussion about the Belles forest area

• Paggaio – Discussion about Paggaio Mountain• National Forest Park of Machairas – Discussion forum
