The meeting, held on November 9th, outlined key measures to reduce fire risk and protect homes and the surrounding environment. Emphasis was placed on creating protection strips around urban centers and isolated houses, as well as on the proper maintenance of interior plots.
Attendees were reminded of the importance of following emergency service instructions in case of fire, prioritizing confinement and evacuation only when ordered by authorities.
In late winter, the Rural Agents will conduct a report on the condition of the perimeter strips of the town center and Fussimnaya, as well as interior plots and isolated houses. Subsequently, the City Council will issue requirements for properties not complying with regulations.
The forest fire self-protection regulations apply to population centers, urbanizations, isolated houses, and facilities located within 500 meters of forest land. Basic obligations include establishing an exterior protection strip with specific vegetation cover and tree spacing, maintaining interior plots and access roads clear of dry vegetation, and pruning trees that overhang plot boundaries.
For more information, residents can consult the Municipal Forest Fire Prevention Plan (PPI), the Tavèrnoles Municipal Civil Protection Document (DUPROCIM), and details on responsible declarations and authorizations for activities with forest fire risk. The City Council's Citizen Attention Office offers assistance with procedures.
