The lack of preparedness, including insufficient resources and training for OTAs, leads to inadequate wildfire response. Two-thirds of municipalities report insufficient resources for fire prevention, and the absence of a formalized feedback mechanism after crises hinders improvement. This results in recurring wildfires, loss of forests and property, and environmental damage.
