| description | Despite increasing investments in wildfire management, the occurrence of larger and more intense wildfires has become more frequent. Consequently, the impact on infrastructure located in high-risk areas has led to dramatic situations, involving the destruction of assets with significant economic and social value and, in extreme cases, the loss of human lives.
This work aims to share technical and scientific knowledge on the most effective ways to manage wildfire risk in buildings, specifically dwellings. Three essential components are considered – the building itself, its surroundings, and self-protection capacity. These are examined in relation to current legislation and policies in Portugal. The content will be of primary interest to both technical and non-technical professionals involved in wildland-urban interface fire management, as well as to the general public, especially to citizens with buildings located in fire-prone areas. |

Published Apesar do aumento dos investimentos na gestão de incêndios florestais, a ocorrência de incêndios maiores e mais intensos tornou-se mais frequente. Consequentemente, o impacto nas infraestruturas localizadas em áreas de alto risco levou a situações dramáticas, envolvendo a destruição de bens com significativo valor económico e social e, em casos extremos, a perda de vidas humanas. Este trabalho tem como objetivo partilhar conhecimentos técnicos e científicos sobre as formas mais eficazes de gerir o risco de incêndios florestais em edifícios, especificamente em habitações. São considerados três componentes essenciais: o próprio edifício, o seu entorno e a capacidade de autoproteção. Estes são examinados em relação à legislação e às políticas atuais em Portugal. O conteúdo será de interesse primordial para profissionais técnicos e não técnicos envolvidos na gestão de incêndios na interface urbano-florestal, bem como para o público em geral, especialmente para cidadãos com edifícios localizados em áreas propensas a incêndios. 2025-12-04T13:57:57Z 2025-12-04T13:57:57Z 2025-08 book 978-989-26-2756-4 978-989-26-2757-1 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/169893 eng image/jpeg Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International https://doi.org/10.14195/978-989-26-2757-1 Coimbra University Press Coimbra University Press 10.14195/978-989-26-2757-1 Apesar do aumento dos investimentos na gestão de incêndios florestais, a ocorrência de incêndios maiores e mais intensos tornou-se mais frequente.
