Modernizing Wildfire Safety and Prevention Act of 2025
This bill addresses wildfires by expanding emergency and disaster assistance, establishing scientific monitoring, and increasing assistance for firefighting personnel. The bill is based on recommendations in a 2023 report from the Wildland Fire Mitigation and Management Commission, a congressionally established group of public and private experts.
The bill expands and expedites federal assistance for wildfire response, recovery, and mitigation by
• expanding presidential wildfire emergency and major disaster declarations to include natural hazard events stemming from the wildfire (e.g., landslides, floods) within three years after the fire,
• requiring payment to recipients within 90 days for certain emergency land restoration and disaster assistance for wildfires, and
• requiring increased accessibility of wildfire risk reduction and recovery grants.
