- The paper represents the first detailed investigation into behavioural responses of European populations subjected to wildfire. Previous studies have focused on the USA and Australia. As wildfires in Europe are growing in frequency, size and deadly outcome it is essential that we understand how communities are likely to respond in order to improve societal resilience. This work, part of the EU GEO-SAFE (691161) project, has contributed to the PhD of one of the authors (Vaiciulyte), has attracted additional funding (2020) from SFPE Foundation Student Research Grant (VValentine@sfpe.org will verify) and has contributed to the development of the urbanEXODUS software.
