Morocco’s national agency for water and forests has not updated its forest fire risk maps since late May. An informed source stated the updates are dependent on a range of scientific considerations used to implement preventative measures. The delay is occurring as the country approaches the start of summer, a period typically associated with increased fire risk. The maps, which predict potential fire hazards, are crucial for preparedness efforts. No specific timeframe for the update was provided, but it is contingent on favorable weather conditions allowing for accurate forecasting. The agency continues to monitor the situation and will issue revised maps when scientifically appropriate.
