The United States is experiencing a crisis – a present and a future defined by wildfires that are increasingly extreme, vast in scale, and devastating to communities and landscapes. Whether from smoke-filled skies or the loss of lives, homes, and businesses, every part of the country has been impacted by severe wildfires. Recognizing this crisis, Congress established the Wildland Fire Mitigation and Management Commission to review nearly every facet of the wildfire system. The Commission recommendations offer a roadmap for Congress to better prepare the nation for wildfire.
