About
Due to the specific characteristics of the areas, as well as the climatic conditions both Municipalities are subject to the threat of fire, especially in the critical months of June, July and August; furthermore it is estimated that Dupnitsa Municipality is one of the areas with highest levels of anthropogenic pressure (72.4 %) which defines it as a generally vulnerable setting.
The problem that the current activity explores is the unsatisfactory firefighting culture of the citizens – they are lacking basic knowlegde and practical skills, crucial when it comes to proper management of a risk situation, especially taking into consideration the general vulnerability of the area inhabited.
The idea is the exact parameters of their behavioral illiteracy in terms of risk management to become visible thus allowing the establishment of a relevant action plan/strategy/campaigns with concrete measures that will have the capacity to fill the gaps in the practical and theoretical knowledge of the citizens and provide them with valuable tools for timely and sufficient reaction.
