Urging the Governor, the Department of Natural Resources, division of forestry and fire protection, the Department of Public Safety, municipalities of the state and relevant wildfire planning and response agencies, and the Alaska delegation in Congress to prepare for the 2025 wildfire season.

SJR 18 is a non-binding resolution urging Alaska state agencies, local governments, and the Alaska congressional delegation to prepare for the 2025 wildfire season. It specifically directs the Governor, Department of Natural Resources (forestry/fire division), Department of Public Safety, and municipalities to review wildfire response plans for high-risk communities (like Anchorage and Fairbanks), inspect equipment and water resources, expand public outreach through programs like Ready, Set, Go! and Firewise USA, and conduct evacuation drills before May 2025. The resolution focuses on proactive measures - such as improving access routes, treating fuel loads, and enhancing early detection - to reduce fire risks and costs, without creating new laws or funding. It directly affects state agencies, local fire departments, and communities in wildland-urban interface areas.
