Abstract

In response to the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires, RESILFIRE addresses the urgent need to enhance the resilience of interdependent power and communication infrastructures in wildfire-prone regions. With global warming projected to intensify, especially in areas like California and Mediterranean Europe, wildfire risks have escalated, causing significant socio-economic disruptions. This project aims to fill critical research gaps using a systemic approach to develop a Fire Sociotechnical Model that integrates P&C infrastructures with social inequalities, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of wildfire on vulnerable communities.
