Mid Term (2-4 years)
Streamline and coordinate all wildland fire reporting procedures and systems to improve reporting accuracy for more effective decision-making and resource allocation. The view of most RSC partners is that the national reporting systems such as NFIRS and FAMWEB have become too complex, burdensome, time consuming for most wildland fire entities to maintain to expected standards current entry. The result is that critical data is being lost or is inadequate for effective use by leaders and managers. There is a need for coordination at the national level to better integrate and simplify data entry to make it easier for local fire departments and others to provide important data needed for making effective policy and resource allocation decisions.
