The Ministry of the Interior, the National Directorate-General for Disaster Management (hereinafter: BM OKF) is the fundamental purpose of protecting the safety of life and property of the Hungarian population, the safe operation of the national economy and critical infrastructure elements, which is an extremely important public security task. The BM OKF is a national law enforcement agency. The backbone of Hungary’s rescue fire protection system is the Budapest and 19 County Disaster Management Directorates, operating under the subordination of the OKF of the BM, with 105 professional fire brigades and 41 professional emergency stations. An important element of the system is 60 municipal fire brigades, 71 facility fire brigades and 520 volunteer firefighters’ associations. Description of the initial situation: The negative impacts of climate change on our environment are becoming increasingly pronounced and creating new challenges for organisations involved in disaster management. Water damage poses a high risk, but it is also important to highlight the sudden local hazards caused by weather changes. Among the environmental impacts, events related to the development of temperature fluctuations and repetitive extreme conditions, as well as air movements, precipitation-related and independent negative effects endanger the safety of the population. The growing incidence of vegetation, forest and warp fires is also closely linked to climate change. Since it is not possible to completely prevent the emergence of root causes and consequences, disaster management should place the main emphasis on preparedness, operational and effective intervention readiness to effectively mitigate secondary damage. The operational areas are defined in such a way that the forces of the fire brigade, which reach the settlement in question, move to the area. The available firefighting forces often have to move at a distance that no longer allows effective intervention at the site in which case the intervening forces encounter a large fire rather than an initial fire. With regard to special vehicles, the problem is exponentially given that the disaster management bodies had a sufficient number of special vehicles to deal with forest fires that were less frequent in the past. However, the increased number of outdoor fires due to climate change requires a high degree of capacity expansion to accommodate vehicles equipped for special purposes in several parts of the country. Objectives of the project: The aim of the project is to enable the disaster response forces to arrive at the site in a shorter time, with more capacity, with more modern equipment, to effectively eliminate damage by deploying new water and forest firefighting, rapid forest firefighting and multipurpose fire-extinguishing vehicles, and to achieve the lowest intensity of the negative environmental impacts caused by the tools used and intervention procedures. It is important that water supply in water scarcity areas is ensured, i.e. water suppliers with adequate technical parameters in areas with high water scarcity (with insufficiently developed fire water networks) are able to supply the vaccine as soon as possible. Planned activity in the garden of the project: With the realisation of the project, it is expected that 61 vehicles will be installed. This fleet is an important pillar of a modern and uniform protection system, providing a higher level of protection for both citizens, living and built environments. With priority water, off-road and firefighting capabilities, vehicles contribute significantly to the rapid localisation and eradication of disaster situations. Vehicles to be procured: • 16 6x6 wheel form road light off-road water carriers (simple ear knives) • 14 road light off-road water carriers with 6x6 wheel formation (double eark) • 3 heavy off-road multi-purpose vehicles with 6x6 wheel formation (double earknife), water transport/forest fire and technical rescue replacement superstructure • 3 6x6 road-light off-road multi-purpose vehicles (simple ear knives), with 3 forest-fired replacement superstructures • 1 fuel filling replacement superstructure • 21 forest-fired rapid intervention (4x4) pickup The planned funding, sustainability: The financing elements related to the purchase of vehicles and equipment and the implementation of the project will be used within the project’s budget without own funds. The planned acquisition will be carried out by the company directly controlled by BM OKF, as part of an in-house contract and by carrying out a public procurement. The organisation used under the in-hose contract, the parts and equipment of the vehicles carried out by it and to be carried out at a later stage
