Improve fire resistance
The Lisbon Metropolitan Area, through the Pact for Territorial Development and Cohesion, has contracted with the POSEUR Management Authority to implement forestry video surveillance systems in the Arrábida Natural Park and the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, with an extension of the existing system in the municipality of Mafra.
This investment in new management systems improves disaster resilience through the installation of 14 video surveillance towers in strategic locations and the development of a dedicated communications network.
Control and management centers and operating posts were also set up in the Setúbal and Lisbon district command structures of the National Civil Protection Authority and the National Republican Guard (with the possibility of interfaces to the AML, the Institute for Nature Conservation and Forests and the municipalities concerned).
