In the Coquimbo Region of Chile, authorities have transitioned from storm recovery to wildfire preparedness. Following heavy rainfall and storm damage in July, four protected wilderness areas managed by the National Forest Corporation (CONAF) were reopened to the public to support local tourism and the economy. As temperatures rise, CONAF and local municipalities are now intensifying prevention efforts for the upcoming wildfire season. efforts. In the Limarí province, a significant operational force including 100 brigadiers, water trucks, and a helicopter will be deployed starting in October. Officials have noted that heavy winter rains caused increased vegetation growth, which now poses a high fire risk as the plant matter dries out. Recent reports indicate that these seasonal preparations are expanding across other Chilean regions. In Maule, CONAF is launching an employment program with 134 positions dedicated to managing combustible material. Additionally, municipalities in the Biobío region are coordinating with CONAF to protect urban-rural interfaces from potential fire threats.
