Wildfire Prevention and Recovery Act

The Wildfire Prevention and Recovery Act authorizes the Secretary of the Army to conduct periodic wildfire risk assessments for federally authorized dams and reservoirs in Arizona. These evaluations aim to identify threats to infrastructure functions like flood control and water supply, as well as potential dangers to nearby communities if a structure fails. The bill requires the Army to consider factors such as sediment buildup, debris flows, and existing data when planning mitigation strategies to improve preparedness and response capabilities.
