Magazine article and brochures
Avec comme référence l’incendie de forêt de Loèche, été 2003, le plus grand sinistre de ce type en Valais de ces cent dernières années, nous montrons la variété des conséquences sur la nature d’événements à ce point destructeurs. À la lumière du changement climatique annoncé, le risque d’incendie pour l’avenir est débattu, et des exemples en vue d’actions préventives sont proposés.
