Solving the nation’s wildfire issues will not be an inexpensive endeavor. Significant investments throughout the wildfire cycle (before, during, and after fire) are needed at the federal, state, and local levels, as well as by individual property owners. Yet, current systems to track wildfire-related spending are fragmented– making tracking, transparency, and accountability difficult. The Commission made a number of funding and accountability related recommendations, including those focused on budget stability and structures (R120-R123), investment priorities (R124-R132), and the importance of shared investments (R133-R134). The Commission felt that only through sustained and consistent investment could we reduce the overall costs and losses associated with wildfire.
