A Proposed Post-Fire Planning Approach Based on DEMATEL in Vesuvius National Park

We present a site-agnostic workflow to identify Fireline Tactical Support Points (FTSPs) and corridors following wildfire where spectral-change proxies (dNBR, RdNBR, and dNDVI) are paired pre/post-fire and co-registered on a 20 m grid together with a 72 h rainfall accumulation layer, which is treated as an operational feasibility and safety overlay, complementing access and terrain. Applied to the Vesuvius National Park (Italy) wildfire episode of August 2025, the pipeline yields suitability/susceptibility surfaces, ranked factors, and corridor candidates, with estimated successes including coherent prioritization within high-severity mosaics, improved continuity toward existing access routes, and reduced overlap with mapped sensitive areas at like-for-like suitability. Low-carbon staging is retained as a design safeguard, while detailed greenhouse-gas accounting is intentionally deferred to future, fleet-resolved multi-criteria analyses. The approach enables rapid, repeatable decision support and is relevant to SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 15 (Life on Land).
