Improved Reporting on Wildfire Risk Reduction Activities
This new law requires federal agencies to report more accurately on activities aimed at reducing wildfire risks. This will give citizens better insight into how money is spent on fire protection and whether these actions are effective, potentially impacting the safety of their homes and the environment.
Key points
Federal agencies must annually report on the acreage of federal land where wildfire risk reduction activities were carried out.
Reports will include detailed information such as location, wildfire risk levels before and after, costs, and effectiveness.
All reports will be publicly available online, increasing transparency of government spending and actions.
Standardized data collection procedures will be implemented to ensure accuracy and reliability.
