The initiative aims to bring together institutional leaders, politicians, technicians, fire victims, and rural and urban residents in the same space for dialogue, the organisers say in a statement.

The aim is to “provide clarification and consultation with the various parties involved in a problem that plagues us every year and that concerns us all”, the note reads.

Entitled "The scourge of fires: Challenges of Territorial Management", the round table will take place at 6:30 pm, being moderated by Susana Helena de Sousa.
