Osservatorio Incendi - Wildfires Citizen Observatory
The Wildfire Citizen Observatory is a Citizen Science project with a dual purpose. On one hand, it provides citizens with a tool to report wildfires and potential ignition sources, promoting their swift removal and encouraging a collective preventive effort. On the other hand, it offers concrete support to municipalities by providing them with an intuitive platform that accelerates and simplifies the complex process of preparing the Wildfire Registry. This approach aims to overcome current bureaucratic hurdles and the lack of updated data, a particularly pressing issue in many Sicilian municipalities . The project also aspires to build a collaborative network among various local associations, acting as a central hub for data sharing and best practices, with the ultimate goal of extending the cadastre's effectiveness from pilot communities to all of Sicily. This will ensure greater transparency and participation in the process of protecting and restricting burned areas.
