| About the
Workshop |
Wildfire: Human
Behaviour and Evacuation Modelling GEO-SAFE Workshop
Attendance is Free of Charge.
This is the 7th GEO-SAFE workshop and the only GEO-SAFE
workshop to be held in United Kingdom. This workshop will
present the evacuation models developed and human behaviour
analysis that has been performed in the GEO-SAFE project. The
Workshop is organized within the Work Package WP2 of the
European Project
GEO-SAFE
(H2020-MSCA-RISE project n. 691161). The key features of this
workshop are:
- One day at UoG
- Main
themes are -
- Role, requirements and capabilities of
evacuation modelling in the planning and management of
wildfires.
- Identification and calibration of human behaviour
in response to wildfire.
- Development and application of
Large Scale Wildfire Evacuation Models
- Embed evacuation
simulation environment into a training environment.
- Future
directions for wildfire evacuation modelling.
- Consists
of:
- 7 lectures
- 3 discussion panels
- 1 hands on
session using webEXODUS
- 1 Demonstration session showing
recent developments in coupling wildfire, pedestrian and vehicle
models
- Agenda
- Speakers

| GEO-SAFE |
Forest fires (also referred to as wildfires and bushfires) are an annual
occurrence in many parts of the world causing massive damage to the
natural and built environments, endangering lives and forcing the
large-scale evacuation of entire residential areas and business and
industrial facilities. In the EU and Australia, every year thousands of
square miles of forests and other regions burn due to wildfires. These
fires result in significant economic and ecological losses, and often,
human casualties. The threat posed by wildfires is not restricted to
countries with hot climates. A large number of wildfires occur in Great
Britain every year.
The Geospatial based Environment for
Optimisation Systems Addressing Fire Emergencies European
GEO-SAFE
(H2020-MSCA-RISE project n. 691161) project,
co-ordinated by FSEG of the University of Greenwich, is a four year
project (running from May 2016 to April 2020) with 17 partners from 7
countries (United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland,
Netherlands and Australia) with an estimated project cost of
€1,386,000.00. The aim of GEO-SAFE is to create a network enabling the
two regions to exchange knowledge, ideas and experience, thus boosting
the progress of wildfires knowledge and the related development of
innovative methods for dealing efficiently with such fires.
