Strengthening Wildfire Resiliency Through Satellites Act of 2024

This bill establishes a competitive grant program to fund state wildfire monitoring using satellite technology. Eligible entities - such as state foresters or emergency managers - can apply for grants to purchase high-resolution satellite data and analyze it for wildfire detection, response, and recovery. The grants specifically support monitoring fire behavior, ensuring prescribed burn safety, and guiding post-fire recovery efforts. The program is funded with $20 million annually for fiscal years 2025-2027, requiring a report to Congress on its effectiveness within two years.
