RESOLUTION of May 4, 2023, of the General Directorate of




The Legal Consultant

summary

The work of prevention and extinction of forest fires must be adapted at each moment of the year to the existing risk. For the Junta de Castilla y León, a flexible operation has been opted for, which integrates prevention and extinction and whose dimensions are adapted to the existing risk conditions at all times.

The scarcity of rains of the last few weeks and the temperatures much higher than expected for this time of the year continue. This is causing a significant drought and an increased risk of forest fires.

It is therefore necessary to take measures that must be subject to precise coordination in order to achieve maximum efficiency in the fulfillment of its purpose, for which it is necessary that, from the competent governing body, those resolutions tend to achieve dacha coordination.

For this reason, and in accordance with the powers derived from Decree 63/1985, of July 27, on the prevention and extinction of forest fires, and Decree 9/2022, of May 5, which establishes the organic structure of the Minister of the Environment, Housing and Territorial Planning, this General Directorate of Natural Heritage and Forest Policy.
