BLM Wildland Fire Fuels Management and Community Assistance Program Activities
15.228
Wildland Fire Fuels Management and Community Assistance Program activities represent strategic investments in managing vegetation through active management to reduce the intensity, severity or negative effects of wildfire. Provides cost-effective benefits to the American people, helps restore and maintain healthy ecosystems, and supports communities in their efforts to become fire-adapted. Program activities include: programs that develop local capability including assessment and planning, community and homeowner mitigation and education activities, and community and homeowner education and implementation; planning and implementing fuels management activities, including the training, monitoring or maintenance associated with such fuels management activities, on federal land, or on adjacent nonfederal land for activities that benefit resources on federal land; and assisting with the prevention of wildfires to reduce the risk and impact to communities and their values. This program continues to advance the Department of the Interior’s priorities to create a conservation stewardship legacy while generating revenue and utilizing our natural resources. In addition, supports BLM’s continued commitment to develop and sustain partnerships and reduce and streamline its processes and procedures to serve its customers and the public better and faster across all its program areas. These reforms allow the Bureau to realign time and resources to completing important on–the-ground work. This program also supports the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Public Law 117-58, Sec. 40803 Wildfire Risk Reduction. This program supports projects funded through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Sections 50221 Resilience, 50222 Ecosystems Restoration and 50303 DOI. Executive Order for EJ/Justic 40 (EO 12898) and Climate Change (EO 14008).

JFSP funded 32 GRIN projects that support graduate students to enhance interaction with fire and fuels managers. Funded four projects to assess fuel breaks and fuel break systems, and funded three to reduce damages and losses to valued resources.
The JFSP funds and provides oversight to a national collaborative of 15 regional wildland fire science exchanges: the Fire Science Exchange Network (FSEN). The FSEN provides the most relevant, current wildland fire science information to federal, state, local, tribal, and private stakeholders within ecologically similar regions. In Fiscal Year 2020 JFSP funded three FSEN projects via cooperative agreement.
