Recent important events within Predictive Services has been the implementation of the Short-Term Plan in 2022 to mitigate effects of transitioning to the new version of the National Fire Danger Rating System, updating the Predictive Services Handbook, which hasn't been done since 2009, verification of significant fire potential forecasts, and proposing Integrated Fire Environment Decision Support Services with the National Weather Service to address long-standing systemic issues within the interagency fire environment monitoring and prediction system. The evolving fire environment and the increased need for reliable and accurate decision support for fire and emergency management, the public, and private enterprise has strained existing fire environment decision support services and revealed inadequacies, including in Predictive Services. Proposals have been made to national fire management, but it would require substantial investment and prioritization.
