decision maker in WUI Fires
#SMEM
Do social media can help crisis manager
and People on WUI Fires?
People = new behavior
People = new behavior
Lot of informations on web & social medias

maps
Transforming information into inteligence
Informing people
Asking people

In the future…Apps?
Apps - Example of project : CORSEinfo112
• Using social media to inform & alert people like an early warning system
• Receiving automatic short text when you go in dangerous area
• Getting on apps informations about natural and man made risks where you live

“Fire suppression in the next decade will begin a
transformation process driven by technology,
requirements for greater mobility and agility, and
suppression strategies that will demand new levels of
flexibility and precision”
