Looking at the site I see some interesting things for my state of Michigan.

Only about 2 dozen federal disaster declarations since the 1950s. Most recent was for Katrina. LOL. We had wildfires up north last spring and there was no federal declaration.

It's future fires we need the declaration for so assets can deploy faster than they are.

Really the only rain we can hope for is via tropical systems, like last year. In fact, it hasn't rained in centex since TD Hermine last *September*.
