📋 Tender Overview
The Secretariat for Disaster Risk Management leads meetings with sectors and organizations to develop preventive and response methodology.Due to the potential threat posed by forest fires in the national territory and to prevent their harmful consequences, the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (PCM), through the Secretariat of Disaster Risk Management (SGRD), has been developing the Plan Multisectoral response to Forest Fires 2025-2027.
To this end, since May of this year, the PCM has been leading a series of working meetings with representatives of the ministries of Environment, Culture, Defense, Agrarian Development and Irrigation, and Development and Social Inclusion; the National Center for Estimation, Prevention and Reduction of Disaster Risk (Cenepred); and the National Institute of Civil Defense (Indeci).
Officials from the National Fire Department of Peru (INBP), the National Service of Protected Natural Areas (Sernanp) also participate in these meetings, aimed at the activities to be prioritized within the framework of the plan; the National Forestry and Wildlife Service (Serfor); the National Service of Meteorology and Hydrology of Peru (Senamhi) and the Armed Forces.
The Multisector Plan for Forest Fires will be an articulation instrument for multisector interventions that will be aimed at reducing the vulnerability of the population and their livelihoods to the occurrence of forest fires, in areas of the national territory with the presence of such dangers.
In this context, under the technical assistance of the PCM and based on the possible forest fire scenarios prepared by Cenepred, the sectors involved are identifying the activities and investments to be executed, which must be linked to the objectives and services of the National Disaster Risk Management Policy to 2050 and the multisectoral strategic actions of the National Disaster Risk Management Plan 2022-2030.
It is planned to continue with the development of work meetings with the sectors and regional and local governments involved, with the aim that the drafting of the plan will be completed by the end of this year, for its subsequent submission to the Council of Ministers, a body where its final approval will be decided.
