Fire prevention activities in
Central Kalimantan
Regular Fire patrol and Early
action
Peatland Areas
Fire prevention
activities
Information dissemination at village
level: Radio community, TV, poster,
etc
Development of network of
meteorological station, GWL,
and Hotspots monitoring
EWS: Production of fire risk map,
Rainfall map, and GWL map
Equipments and operational
funding for community-base fire
fighting
Establishment of deep wells and
water pond in high risk areas to
support fighting
Setting up regulation at village
and Regency level
Improving structure of peatland
degradation, with blocking canal
and reforestation
Education and training
