Wildfire Crisis Strategy Landscapes

The Wildfire Crisis Strategy Landscapes (ALN 10.724) is a federal initiative aimed at addressing wildfire risks to critical infrastructure, protecting communities, and making forests more resilient. The strategy includes the implementation of treatments on selected landscapes across the Western United States, covering over 45 million acres. This initiative is part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, which have committed significant federal appropriations for wildfire risk reduction. The strategy focuses on areas that are at higher risk of catastrophic wildland fires and require large-scale project work to reduce this high-risk potential. The Forest Service has identified multiple areas across all regions that are at risk and are in need of large-scale project work to reduce this high-risk potential.
