The long-term vision of the project is to establish a model of civic engagement that significantly enhances disaster preparedness and resilience in local communities, specifically in response to forest fires. Here are the key aspects of this vision:

Community Empowerment: The project seeks to deeply embed disaster preparedness into the fabric of the community by empowering residents with the knowledge and tools needed to effectively respond to emergencies. This includes training and resources to ensure that every community member can contribute to disaster prevention and response efforts.
Sustainable Partnerships and Institutional Collaboration: By fostering ongoing partnerships with local government bodies, forestry services, and energy providers, the project aims to create a sustainable framework for continuous improvement and readiness. This includes regular updates to the digital risk map and the integration of community input into institutional planning and response strategies.
Advocacy and Policy Influence: A key goal is to advocate for changes in policy and increased budget allocations for preventive measures against forest fires at both local and national levels. The project intends to use its outcomes and evidence from community-based activities to push for broader legislative and funding changes that prioritize disaster preparedness.
Scalability and Replication: Ultimately, the project envisions expanding its model to other regions and contexts, sharing best practices and learnings to enable other communities to implement similar strategies. This could potentially lead to a nationwide or even international application of the project’s methods, adapting them to various environmental and social settings.
By achieving these goals, the project aims to create a proactive society where communities are not only ready to face disasters but are also active participants in shaping their outcomes, ensuring safer and more resilient environments for future generations.
