Yesterday we met climbers 🧗 to share wildfire safety tips👇
·Check fire risk maps, avoid high-risk areas.
·Plan evacuation options and consider terrain, vegetation, wind and slope.
·Watch for smoke or fire signs and if risk⬆️: call 112.
👉Soon we’ll publish a refined version✏️

#ETM2’s final day opens with presentations and discussion on wildfire risk challenges and opportunities, bringing together experts from Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece, alongside related EU projects. The session focuses on shared lessons and needs across Mediterranean regions.
Session 2, an interactive workshop, explores cross-cutting components for a pan-European wildfire risk approach, focusing on improved risk governance (policy coherence, participation, coordination and funding).
#ETM2 concludes in Athens after three days of exchange, field learning and collaboration on #wildfirerisk management & preparedness across Mediterranean WUI contexts. Thanks to all participants, speakers and organisers (@Auth_University), and to #ELGODIMITRA for its hospitality.
