Understanding Building Resistance to Wildfires: A Multi-Factor Approach

In terms of researching fire-related structure loss, various factors can affect survival during a wildfire. This paper aims to assess which were determinants in house resistance the specific context case study an extreme wildfire Central Region Portugal and therefore should be taken into account definition municipal mitigation strategy defend buildings against wildfires. this context, it is possible conclude that presented predominant influence, some building destruction others survival. The existence overhanging vegetation lack defensible space constitute major for destruction. inherent severity, location forest area, structure’s isolation from roads equally important induced Building was determined by its increasing distance dense urban agglomeration. Thus, enhance resilience include prohibition roof restriction permits areas, isolated locations, and/or very far roads. These orientations extrapolated municipalities with similar susceptibility vulnerability
