This means citizens can expect more effective crisis management and greater safety in fire-prone areas.
Key points
The government will analyze environmental changes and their impact on wildfires every four years to improve prevention and response.
The act requires an analysis of the link between wildfires and public health, potentially leading to better warnings and protective measures for citizens.
