The wildfire season requires preparation, clear spaces, correct information, and respect for official instructions.

AxioRiza Greece is being designed as a nationwide initiative. This means public information and future actions must be able to adapt to different realities: major cities, islands, mountain areas, rural municipalities, ports, schools, families, and local social structures.

Practical steps
- Follow official guidance and 112 alerts.
- Cooperate with municipalities, Regions, and competent services.
- No volunteer entry into dangerous zones.
- Post-incident support through needs records by area.

How support can help
Companies, municipalities, foundations, professionals, and volunteers can contribute goods, equipment, transport, professional time, spaces, technical support, or sponsorship for a specific action. Every contribution should be recorded and connected with a specific area, need, and outcome.

Important note: AxioRiza provides information, social support, coordination, and referral. It does not replace public authorities, licensed services, or specialized professionals.
