Introduction CeRVEnE	 (Regional	Veterinary	referral	Center	for	non-epidemic	emergencies)	was	established	 in	2017	 in	the	 Italian	 Region	 of	 Campania,	 to	 improving	 the	 timely	 management	 of	 veterinary	 non-epidemic	emergencies	in	case	of	disaster.		The	 “Fire	Risk	Assessment	 in	 Campania	Region”	 (FRAC)	 aims	 at	 providing	 the	Regional	Government	with	 a	 strategic	 tool	 able	 to	 gathering	 and	 supplying	 in	 short	 time	 all	 the	 necessary	 information	 to	handle	fire-related	risks,	and	start	safeguard	actions	and	recovery	of	ecosystems,	that	involve	wild	and	domestic	biodiversity,	based	on	the	“Disaster	Management	Cycle”	model	principles	(Fig.	1).		The	present	work	 intends	 to	describe	 the	conceptual	 framework	and	 to	 introduce	 some	preliminary	results	to	be	implemented	to	support	the	activities	pursued	by	the	FRAC	Program.		The	main	scope	of	the	system	are:	(i)	to	monitor	the	wooded	areas	under	risk	of	fire	 in	the	so-called	“Vesuvius’	red	zone”,	and	(ii)	to	determine	the	OPtimal	Evacuation	Route	for	Animals	(OPERA)	in	case	of	fire,	for	both	domestic	and	wild	animals.		 Fig.	1	II. Methodology and Objectives The	necessary	steps	to	accomplish	the	mentioned	goals	are:		1)  the	 gathering	 of	 a	 set	 of	 specific	 information	 (e.g.	 Fuel	 parameters,	 wildlife	 population	consistence,	Digital	Elevation	Model	Map,	etc.);		2)  an	Evacuation	Plan	Model.		The	first	step	is	requested	to	create	a	Fire	Propagation	Map,	through	which	characteristics	and	dynamics	of	a	fire	episode	can	be	analyzed	and	evaluated	(Fig.	2).			Fig.	2	The	second	step	can	be	figured	out	by	also	adding	data	related	to	both	the	urbanization	rate	and	the	road	system	development	surrounding	Mount	Vesuvius	(Fig.	3a	&	3b).		To	determine	the	OPERA	such	model	has	to	be	enriched	by	means	of	the	mapping	of	the	animal	presence	 and	 the	 clear	 definition	 of	 type	 of	 vehicles	 requested	 to	 rescue	 the	 animal	 species	involved	in	a	fire	episode.		Fig.	3a	 Fig.	3b	The	 development	 of	 the	 proposed	 integrated	 system	 becomes	 critical,	 as	 the	 fire	 risk	 has	 considerably	 increased	 in	 the	 last	 years	 in	 the	whole	Vesuvius’	surrounding	area,	which	features	a	unique	combination	of	both	animal	and	anthropic	elements	within	a	very	delicate	natural	ecosystem.	The	FRAC	Program	involved	a	big	number	of	organizations	that	need	to	strictly	interface	with	each	other	and,	in	case	of	fire,	in	a	very	short	time.		The	 implementation	of	a	specific	 integrated	system	to	support	 the	FRAC	Program	 is	supposed	to	boost	an	 improvement	for	CeRVEnE’s	activities,	pursuant	the	innovation	perspectives	coming	with	the	effectual	application	of	the	Disaster	Management	principles.
