The kick-off meeting of the FRED project (Fire Free MED) was held on the 28th and 29th of February in Opatija, Croatia.
The meeting was organized among the project partners in order to discuss general topics of the project and to introduce the related activities.
The overall objective of the project is to implement advanced ICT/UAS (drone) tools for climate change adaptation, disaster risk prevention and mitigation in the wildfire segment at 6 public authorities in 6 MED countries (HR, SI, IT, BA, ME, EL, PT). By doing so, the project technical solutions will prevent and mitigate wildfires, strengthen resilience of the EU wildfire hotspot – MED and result in reducing risks to human lives, ecosystem degradation, habitat/biodiversity loss.
The FRED project consortium gathers 10 partners from Croatia, Italy, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Greece and Portugal.
