Hi-tech capacities for crisis response and recovery after a natural-technological (NaTech) disaster HORIZON-CL3-2024-DRS-01-04

The project aims to reduce fire risks in industrial areas that pose a high fire risk in order to make cities more fire resistant. In city planning, industrial areas are generally designed in the outer parts of cities and independently of urban areas due to the high risks they pose. As a result of the growth of cities over the years, industrial areas previously planned in the outer parts of the city are becoming a central part of the city. The most important risk of industrial areas can be described as fire. Because fire risks may be relatively less or more depending on the type of industry. In NFPA's 2023 report on production and industrial zones, the number of fires that occurred in these regions according to the type of industrial zones in the period between 2017 and 2022, their amount in percentage, fire causes and fire amounts according to industry type are given.
