o:3786 HEADQUARTERS FOR EMERGENCY SITUATION AS ELEMENTS OF THE RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR LARGE FOREST FIRES ŠTABOVI ZA VANREDNE SITUACIJE KAO ELEMENTI SISTEMA UPRAVLJANJA RIZIKOM KOD VELIKIH ŠUMSKIH POŽARA en In recent years, forest fires are becoming more frequent, which is partly a consequence of global warming and the appearance of extremely hot summers, more frequent occurrences of drought, as well as increased wind intensity, but primarily as a consequence of great human carelessness and sometimes evil intentions. Large forest fires are a serious danger and their occurrence and spread directly endangers people, buildings, material goods and the environment. Emergency situation during this type of fires can be declared when a large area of quality forest is affected, when there is an immediate danger to people, material goods or the environment. When declaring an emergency situation, emergency headquarters and expert operational teams are activated whose task is to manage the risk in forest fire protection and to take measures to reduce the risk and protect people and material goods. The functioning of the operations centers and the effective implementation of measures have a direct impact on the efficiency of extinguishing large forest fires and the degree of efficiency in protecting people, buildings and property. The main goal of this paper was the analysis of the work and significance of the headquarters for emergency situation as a risk management factor in forest fire protection. emergency headquarters, forest fire, GIS, risk, legal regulations 1552099 10.5937/SustFor2388217D 1552101 10.5937/SustFor2388217D 2024-01-17T08:10:56.514Z 44 yes 46 Goran ĐORĐEVIĆ 46 Tatjana DIMITRIJEVIĆ 0000-0002-6333-7079 46 Marko TOMIĆ 46 Vanja STOJANOVIĆ 46 Tatjana ĆIRKOVIĆ-MITROVIĆ 0000-0003-2620-1751 46 Ljiljana BRAŠANAC-BOSANAC 0000-0002-3324-674x application/pdf 366801 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:3786 no yes 16 70 1552253 Sustainable Forestry: Collection 87-88 217 226 Институт за шумарство, Београд, Србија 2023
