used in a national template. In addition, the Task Group solicited survey responses from the
GACC Predictive Services/Intelligence Group personnel and website customers from
throughout the national wildland fire community. The survey responses were used in
developing a national website and GACC website template.
In 2004, the National Predictive Services Group (NPSG) converted the Task Group to a
Committee. The first draft of the national website, proposed GACC website template, and
information on the centralized server were presented to the National Predictive Services Group,
GACC Predictive Services and Intelligence personnel, and to the National Coordinators / Center
Directors.
