Initial efforts involved addressing fire risks through training and regulatory oversight. In Lima, officials noted that warehouse fires, often involving flammable materials, frequently occur in informal facilities that fail to comply with National Building Regulations. Simultaneously, in the Loreto region, the Ministry of Environment and regional government conducted training to improve forest fire management and technical capacity to anticipate fire-prone conditions. Following these preventative measures, several significant fire incidents were reported. In the Arequipa region, a major forest fire in the Toro district destroyed approximately 500 hectares of vegetation and eight houses.
