America is facing a future defined by wildfires that are increasingly extreme, vast in scale, and devastating to communities and landscapes. Already this year, more than 7 million acres have burned across the country. This is an area larger than the size of Massachusetts.

As this crisis grows, it threatens communities, impacts national public health, and degrades air quality across entire regions. It is becoming increasingly common to see entire cities blanketed in wildfire smoke, forcing people inside for days on end. More than 115 million people in the U.S. (more than a third of the population) were exposed to toxic wildfire smoke this year.

The wildfire crisis demands federal action, and the Senate has an opportunity to kick-start the national solution by passing the bipartisan S. 1462 - Fix Our Forests Act (FOFA).

FOFA would establish a Community Wildfire Risk Reduction Program to provide communities with resources to aid in fire preparedness and expand the Community Wildfire Defense Grant program to cover home-hardening against wildfires. It also modernizes how the federal government researches and models risk to communities to improve the response to wildfire ignition in the built environment.

Alliance for Wildfire Resilience Action is working hard to push FOFA through the Senate, meeting with lawmakers and their staff. Now, we are asking you to help get this bill over the finish line by contacting your Senators and asking them to support the Fix Our Forests Act.

Please sign up below to send a letter to your Senators urging their support for the S. 1462 - Fix Our Forests Act. And join AWR Action to stay involved in the effort to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from wildfires.
