08.06.2020. Fundación ONCE, a beneficiary of the CILIFO project, organises an online conference to raise social awareness of diversity in forest fires. The initiative is part of the European project CILIFO, (Iberian Centre for Research and the Fight against Forest Fires), led by the Andalusian Regional Government.
Its aim is to provide information on the realities and needs of vulnerable groups, including people with disabilities, to help reduce the risks they face in an emergency.
This meeting is aimed at agents involved in emergency management, as well as organizations and individuals who live or enjoy the forest environment, especially in Portugal.
The conference is free and will be online, on Wednesday 17 June at 10.00 am from Spain and 9.00 am from Portugal. The talk will be given in Spanish. The subtitles and materials presented will be in Portuguese.
