Admin’s Note

The recent wildfires in Belgium are truly shocking in scale. The impact of natural disasters on people’s lives is immeasurable. As Chako mentioned, the heatwave seems to be a trigger, but it’s possible that climate change is increasingly playing a role. This situation highlights the need to reaffirm the importance of local disaster preparedness and international cooperation.
