This global allocation for the l'Horta region will be distributed among 22 localities, with amounts ranging from 5,001.57 euros for Alaquàs to 23,938.11 euros for Alfara del Patriarca. Specifically, l'Horta Nord will receive 98,327 euros for 10 municipalities, while l'Horta Sud will obtain 110,920 euros for 12 localities.
The calculation of the amounts for each town hall is based on a technical scale that considers the size of the municipality (prioritizing smaller ones), forest area, the existence of forest or fire prevention plans, and the presence of protected natural areas or public utility forests.
“"The halving of the bureaucracy that until now accompanied this plan has a double benefit: it simplifies management by local councils, and, more importantly, it allows preventive actions to be carried out more agilely."
The Gestifoc 2026 program, with a total amount of 8 million euros, stands out for its reduced bureaucracy, which will streamline management by local councils and allow for faster execution of preventive actions. Furthermore, the call for these subsidies has been brought forward to March, three months earlier than in the previous year, to improve the preventive impact of the actions.
The aid is divided into two lines: 2 million euros for municipalities owning forests, intended for forest management work such as silvicultural treatments and improvement of plant masses; and 6 million euros for executing fire prevention infrastructures, including firebreaks, improvement of forest roads, and water points for extinction.
