Data for the risk assessment form

Criteria groups 5.1 to 5.6 of ΦΕΚ Β' 3475/2023. Bands (1 to 4) are a draft for the engineer to verify.

Criteria filled: 9/14 · Draft category: 3 (High)

Annex A, C and E criteria, species and infrastructure distances are filled in or confirmed by the engineer on site. The draft category is computed as on the form (mean of the six group means) only when every group has a value.

Your duties

1. 1. Risk assessment and technical report

   For properties with a building inside, or within 300 m of, forest, forest land or grassland (ΚΥΑ 55904/2019/2023, ΦΕΚ Β' 3475/2023): a risk assessment form by a qualified technical professional and a technical report by an engineer entitled to sign under π.δ. 99/2018. Both are filed with the municipality until the electronic platform opens.

2. 2. Annual declaration by 30 April

   Each year the owner signs a declaration that the measures are in place, by 30 April.

3. 3. Preventive measures every fire season

   Access, protection zones around buildings, safe storage of flammable materials, vegetation management and an evacuation preparation plan.

4. 4. Passive and active measures

   Due since 31/03/2025 for high and very high risk and since 31/03/2026 for low and medium risk. Works needing a building permit, a change of use, or renovation over €20,000 and over 15% of the value trigger full compliance at once.

5. 5. Fines under the regulation

   After a warning period: €0.10 to €0.50 per m² by risk category (minimum €250); €100 for a missing annual declaration; €500 for each group of measures not in place.

6. 6. Plot clearing (a separate duty)

   Plots inside town plans or settlements, land up to 100 m from them, and built plots outside plans: clear between 1 April and 15 June, keep clear until 31 October, and declare on akatharista.apps.gov.gr by 15 June. Fines: €500 for neither clearing nor declaring, €1 per m² (€200 to €2,000) for not clearing, and €100 for not declaring.

7. 7. Fire season 1 May to 31 October

   Burning of vegetation and garden waste is banned. In a fire, call 112 or 199.

8. 8. Businesses: compulsory insurance

   Businesses with annual revenue over €500,000 must insure buildings and equipment against forest fire, flood and earthquake for at least 70% of their value.
