Prepare for Wildfires



Wildfire prevention and management is a multi-agency effort. FEMA coordinates across federal agencies to help state, local, tribal, and territorial partners respond to wildfires nationwide.



Through FEMA, fire management assistance is available to state, local, tribal and territorial governments. This assistance helps with mitigation, management, and control of fires.



Federal support includes personnel, assets, technical assistance, and financial investments to help communities mitigate and respond to wildfires. Other federal agencies also work year-round to help prevent and defend against wildfires. We remain committed to delivering better services to marginalized and other vulnerable populations.



Assistance Available for Hawaii Wildfires



FEMA announced federal emergency aid has been made available to the state of Hawaii to supplement state, tribal and local recovery efforts in areas affected by wildfires.

Grants



Mitigation Opportunities



With the growing climate change crisis facing the nation, FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program provides funding to help states, tribes and territories invest in measures that reduce disaster suffering and create safer and more resilient communities.



Learn more about what hazard mitigation is and how FEMA grants can help.



Fire Management Assistance Grants



Learn more about how FEMA provides federal support through the FMAG Program.



An FMAG authorization also makes funding available to eligible states and territories through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) Post Fire program, which can help mitigate wildfire and related hazards by funding eligible wildfire project types like defensible space measures, ignition-resistant construction, and hazardous fuels reduction.
