2024 bipartisan infrastructure law state fire assistance

This $466,500 Project Grant award was provided by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service under the State & Private Forestry Cooperative Fire Assistance program (CFDA 10.698). The grant recipient is the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF), a state government agency responsible for managing and protecting Oregon's forest resources.

The funding will support ODF's comprehensive forest management and wildfire mitigation efforts, including hazardous fuels reduction, community wildfire protection planning, fire prevention education, incident management support, and capacity building for fire departments and forestry agencies. This aligns with the program's core objectives of enhancing forest resilience, promoting fire-adapted communities, and protecting lives and property from wildfire risks across non-federal forest and rural lands. The award has a performance period from September 2024 to January 2028.
