Firecrest

Firecrest is a Master of Entertainment Technology (MET) team at the Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute (M-ITI) for the fall 2014 semester, working together with the Civil Protection of Madeira.  Given the recent incidents that happened a the levadas and walks, we intent to raise awareness of the tourist and locals about the different possible dangers and safety precautions, in order to make them prevent and better respond to said situations in the levadas.

The Regional Service of Civil Protection is an organization located in Madeira Island, whose mission is not only to protect and rescue people from inherent risks and dangerous situations, but also to analyze the effects of such situations in the population.  Furthermore, the Civil Protection is also responsible to guide, coordinate and supervise both activities carried out by firemen and civil protection personnel during an emergency situation.
