The EFHERA project, "Optimisation of post-fire action planning, ensuring the recovery of areas affected by large forest fires (GIF) in south-western Europe due to climate change", focuses on optimising post-fire action planning, ensuring the recovery of areas affected by large forest fires (GIF) in south-western Europe due to climate change. The affected areas undergo rapid degradation processes in the months immediately following the fire. In a climate change scenario, this degradation process is accelerating. If the recovery and management measures implemented are not correct or are not carried out immediately, the agroforestry recovery of the area may not occur. Therefore, the rapid and effective implementation of protection and recovery measures in the first months after a fire is essential. If we add to this the proliferation of large fires that make it difficult to carry out simultaneous post-fire action throughout the affected area, the recovery of burned areas can only be addressed through comprehensive and orderly planning. It is therefore essential to establish the areas to be prioritised for action and the most appropriate measures to be implemented. The project's actions are aimed at seeking and exploiting synergies between the forest management services of the administrations and the scientific community, using recent advances in knowledge of hydrological processes.
