High-risk fire zones still lack video surveillance

▤ Summary

This article says Portugal still lacks video surveillance coverage across much of its high-risk wildfire territory. The current electronic monitoring system covers only about 45% of the continental territory, leaving several vulnerable regions unprotected. The monitoring network uses 146 remote towers with cameras, radios, and weather stations, and the Ciclope system from INOV-INESC operates most of the covered forest area. The piece highlights an ongoing infrastructure and software gap in wildfire monitoring rather than a new company event.
