Abstract
In this paper, a dynamic forest fire hazard model is introduced aiming at getting reliable information useful to take pre-operational actions that can reduce the impact of potentially ignited fires over the considered territory. Among such actions, the attention focuses on the pre-operational allocation of aerial means, able to cope with the forest fires. A pre-operational resource allocation problem is introduced, and formalized as a mathematical programming problem. A case study, relevant to the forest fire hazard assessment and aerial resources management at the Italian national scale, is presented and discussed.
