The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management awarded a $827,415.60 Cooperative Agreement under the Good Neighbor Authority (CFDA 15.015) program to the Village of Kaltag, doing business as the Kaltag Tribal Council, to fund hazardous fuels reduction maintenance projects in the Alaskan community of Kaltag from 2024-2028. The project aims to enhance community resilience to the threat of wildland fires by creating and maintaining fire breaks and defensible space around critical infrastructure, community buildings, and homes using Firewise methodology. This will provide a strategic operational advantage for fire management personnel and improve safety for community members and first responders. Additionally, the project will reduce fire propagation risks by cutting grass and brush around the community's landfill.
