Wildfire Technology Innovation: Public-Private Testing and Deployment Program.
This Act establishes a 7-year pilot program to rapidly deploy and test new technologies for wildfire prevention, detection, communication, and mitigation, such as advanced sensors and autonomous systems. By fostering collaboration between government agencies, private companies, and universities, the program aims to enhance public safety and protect property through more effective fire response and community resilience measures. The focus includes technologies for home hardening and spatial planning.
