Abstract

Considering the importance of forest fires problem in Italy, It is essential to improve the tools available for forest fire prevention, beginning with a correct and detailed fire risk evaluation. At present most part of forest fire plans at national level, do not consider, when dealing with forest fire risk analysis, fire’s behavior and potential propagation (or consider them only using empirical models). This study shows the methodology used by the Veneto Region for the characterization and mapping of forest fire risk at regional level. The application of forest fire propagation simulation allowed the creation of very detailed maps and the acquisition of important information about potential fire intensity, something not possible using only empirical methods
