LUND, Sweden, July 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Wildfires pose a significant challenge to travel and can be associated with substantial health risks for travelers. Experts predict that wildfires’ frequency and intensity will increase dramatically in 2024. The free “Wildfire Informer” provides a comprehensive overview of the global wildfire situation, categorized by the economic regions of EMEA, AMER, and APAC.

Safeture, a leading platform for professional people risk management, has published the report in collaboration with Riskline, a renowned travel risk analysis company.
Europe witnessed a dramatic increase in burned areas in 2023, with unprecedented fires in February and March. Fires were mapped in 24 of the 27 EU states (all except Luxembourg, Malta, and Slovakia). In Greece, at least 28 people lost their lives, and several holiday resorts on the island of Rhodes had to be evacuated by sea.
Data for the first quarter of 2024 indicate that the number of fires is expected to double this year. This increase is largely attributed to prolonged drought periods, unusually high temperatures, and the effects of climate change. Areas traditionally not prone to fires are now increasingly affected by wildfires.
The unpredictability of wildfire speed and spread due to fluctuating winds and dryness can quickly become a life-threatening hazard. The Safeture and Riskline wildfire report offers travelers valuable tips on minimizing risks.
Before the trip:          
Obtain travel insurance that covers cancellations due to natural disasters.Pack a high-performance mobile phone with good reception and a power bank.Download apps that provide real-time information on wildfires, evacuation routes, and safety tips.On-site:
Monitor weather forecasts and follow local media.Ensure your accommodation is equipped with smoke detectors.Pack a backpack with essential items (water, food, medications, documents, first aid kit, etc.).At the first signs of wildfires:           
Observe the direction of the smoke plume and move in the opposite direction.If the atmosphere takes on a yellow-orange to reddish hue, leave the area immediately.Note that white smoke indicates fast-burning materials like grass, while dark smoke signifies longer-lasting fires from dense brush or wood.Remember that fires spread more quickly uphill than downhillSafeture and Riskline emphasize the importance of being well-prepared and staying informed to ensure safety during travel in wildfire-prone areas.

Cost and time savings will drive efficiencies; powerful analytics sharpens rollout strategies
MONTCLAIR, N.J., Aug. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sitetracker, the world’s leading provider of deployment operations management software, will implement its software at EuroTeleSites, third largest listed company in Europe with markets in Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, North Macedonia, and Serbia. With Sitetracker, EuroTeleSites will increase the efficiencies of wireless infrastructure deployments across all countries, improve product management and asset management, and harness its troves of proprietary data for strategic insights.

With more than 13,500 sites across CEE, EuroTeleSites deploys, operates, and maintains a massive network of critical infrastructure that wireless service providers across all six countries use.

“The approximately 400,000 mobile towers of all telcos and TowerCos throughout Europe form the infrastructural backbone of an increasingly digital, mobile society.

Sitetracker continues to see extraordinary success in international markets, particularly in Europe where telecom service providers are investing in high-capacity fiber and wireless infrastructure to deliver much-anticipated 5G services. The Sitetracker product suite, with its built-in best practices for the telco industry, offers a complete telecom ecosystem with prebuilt, intelligent templates and workflows based on years of experience that benefit EuroTeleSites as it moves nimbly to respond to its customers.
“In order to reap the benefits of digital transformation, which include significant cost and time savings, companies must re-imagine old processes and use data to improve them,” said Giuseppe Incitti, CEO of Sitetracker. “Sitetracker gives telcos and TowerCos the tools to make this shift simply and effectively, so they can move forward with clear, precise, real-time information and focus on serving their customers with maximal efficiency. We look forward to a continued positive relationship with EuroTeleSites.”
