The Agence Nationale des Eaux et Forêts (ANEF) has announced that it is forecasting a “medium” to “extreme” risk of forest fires in several of the Kingdom’s provinces over Tuesday and Wednesday.
After analyzing data relating in particular to forest types and their combustibility and flammability levels, as well as Topo climatic parameters, ANEF identified an extreme risk (red level) in the provinces of Tangier-Assilah, Chefchaouen, Taza, Sefrou, Ifrane, Khenifra, Oujda-Angad and Taroudant.
In its daily bulletin, the Agency also reported a high risk (orange level) in the provinces of Fahs-Anjra, Tetouan, Larache, Taounat, Al Hoceima, Beni Mellal, Azilal, Tiznit, Al Haouz and Agadir-Ida Ou Tanane.
A medium risk (yellow level) has been noted in the provinces of Ouezzane, Berkane and Essaouira.
ANEF is inviting forest residents and all summer visitors, as well as people working in forest areas, to be vigilant and take the necessary precautions to avoid forest fires. They are also urged to alert the local authorities promptly in the event of smoke sightings or suspicious behavior.
In order to anticipate the problem of forest fires in Morocco, ANEF uses its scientific prediction models to produce daily maps that accurately identify at-risk areas throughout the country.
