Wildfire governance and funding remain reactive and fragmented
#00237
Short-term budgets, divided responsibilities, outdated risk information and output-focused evaluation prevent coordinated, maintained wildfire risk reduction across jurisdictions.
#00335Adopt national and regional Integrated Fire Management strategies
Coordinate analysis, risk reduction, readiness, response and recovery through one accountable strategy adapted to local fire regimes.
#00337Share wildfire cause, fuel, exposure and outcome data
Publish interoperable, privacy-respecting data across agencies so prevention and response decisions can be evaluated against actual causes and harms.
#00338Include communities and Indigenous peoples in wildfire decisions
Give affected communities and Indigenous rights holders meaningful authority, resources and continuing roles in wildfire planning and evaluation.
#00339Fund wildfire work by outcomes and independent evaluation
Tie funding to maintained risk reduction, safety, ecological, and health outcomes, with independent evaluation and transparent uncertainty.
#00336Establish permanent wildfire prevention budgets
Protect recurring finance for maintenance, community preparedness, research and risk reduction before disasters occur.
