Fire outbreaks whether human or naturally caused pause a serious threat to properties, ecological services and human lives in major mountains of Uganda. The MIRI research team from its Disaster Research Unit (MIRI_DRU) is monitoring the fire incidences and impacts using remote sensing, historical record analysis, GIS modeling and field observation techniques. We work in close associations with local responsible institutions (e.g. National Park Authorities, local government technocrats) and internationally with Universities such as  Brown University in the USA.
