Abstract

El Yali National Reserve is a protected area that is priority number one for the National Forestry Corporation (CONAF). It is located in the V region of Chile, where the risk of wildfire is quite high. In this context, training actors involved in combating wildfire is a relevant issue. Under the simulation of serious video games, a simulator that allows this training was built, since it is not possible to recreate realistic scenarios for this kind of training. Current problems in this context are decision-making with incomplete information, and the non-lineal consequences of these decisions. In the first stage of the project the terrain model was built and subjected to a validation process by experts at the University of Playa Ancha. Preliminary results are satisfactory and allow progression to the next stages of the project.
