The National Water and Forests Agency announced that it will release, between July 15 and 18, scientifically based predictive maps that accurately identify sensitive areas at risk of forest fires nationwide. This initiative aims to anticipate and prevent forest fire outbreaks across the country.
According to the agency’s statement, these maps were developed following a comprehensive analysis of data related to forest cover type and its flammability, climatic forecasts, and the topographical conditions of the regions. The results classified the highest risk level in the provinces of Chefchaouen, Taounate, and Taza. High risk was also identified in the provinces of Agadir Ida Outanane, Al Hoceima, Beni Mellal, Essaouira, Fahs Anjra, Khénifra, Larache, M’diq-Fnideq, Ouezzane, Tangier-Asilah, and Tetouan.
Moderate risk levels were assigned to the provinces of Berkane, Driouch, Ifrane, Kenitra, Khemisset, Nador, Rabat, Salé, Sidi Slimane, Skhirate-Témara, and Taourirt.
The agency called on residents living near forested areas, workers in these zones, as well as vacationers and visitors, to exercise caution and avoid any activities that could trigger fires. It also urged everyone to promptly report any signs of smoke or suspicious behavior to local authorities.
This measure is part of the National Water and Forests Agency’s ongoing efforts to reduce the incidence of forest fires, protect the national forest cover, and preserve natural resources.
