Presentation transcript:

WGA Request The Western Governors urge NOAA to: Complete a National Needs Assessment Report, by NOAA’s Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology, of federal, state and local fire managers needs for weather information in their wildfire and prescribed fire decision making processes and a framework to meet those needs by the NWS and Predictive Services.

ICMSSR Action Item ACTION ITEM : National Wildland Fire Needs Assessment. ICMSSR concurred that OFCM should move forward to form a Joint Action Group (JAG) under the Committee for Environmental Services, Operations, and Research Needs (CESORN), to review the needs and requirements for wildland fire weather information, to include identifying organizational responsibilities and addressing the following issues: data collection, fire weather research, weather forecast services, data assimilation, air quality, information dissemination, education and outreach, and user response.

National Wildland Fire Needs Assessment Process Develop need assessment document based upon all available data collected from JAG, federal agencies, workshops, and user contacts –Will identify needs in each functional area cross-cutting issues with respect to the functional areas needs as being common throughout the community or unique to individual portions of the community common issues which cross-cut the community (examples are: Management, Coordination, Processes, Resources, Science, Technology, and Data) urgency of action for each need short-term or long-term nature of the solution for each need

National Wildland Fire Needs Assessment Process –Will recommend agencies or existing interagency groups take actions on short-term needs that may immediately be addressed work together to assess current capabilities, any gaps in capability to meet the needs as presented in the assessment document, and agree upon program initiatives to fill the capability gaps. The product of this effort will be a detailed, rolling implementation plan with agreed-upon partner roles in meeting objectives.

Timeline Currently –JAG subgroup analysis work continues, 80% complete –OFCM analysis synthesis underway Developing themes/needs document Incorporating new analysis work as it is completed 4/30 – Needs/issues to JAG for input regarding content 5/4 – JAG meeting to solidify needs assessment 5/8 – Brief Federal Coordinator on needs assessment 5/11 – Develop white paper on needs assessment (Katt) 5/11 – White paper to JAG for comment (5/16 suspense) 5/21 – Brief JAG on final white paper 5/31 – Brief ICMSSR on final white paper Current as of 27 Apr 2007

Timeline 6/11 – WGA briefing Jun – More detailed needs assessment completed Jul/Aug – Final report is developed Sep – Final report is published Current as of 27 Apr 2007
