Fire Ready Nation Act of 2025
The Fire Ready Nation Act of 2025 establishes a coordinated fire weather services program within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to improve wildfire prediction, response, and community resilience. The program will develop advanced weather models, enhance data collection through technologies like uncrewed systems, and provide impact-based decision support services to emergency responders and communities. It specifically prioritizes improving access to these services for remote, rural, and isolated communities where residents often serve as first responders to wildfires. The bill authorizes $15 million for fiscal year 2026, increasing to $50 million by 2030, to fund these activities and support coordination with federal, state, tribal, and local partners.
