Wildfire-hit communities would get faster federal help to clean up debris and hazardous waste.
Wildfire-hit communities would get faster federal help to clean up debris and hazardous waste. This bill would let federal grants pay for cleaning up after wildfires, even if a major disaster isn't declared. It would also allow the President to direct the EPA to help remove dangerous materials from public and private lands.
Today, federal grants for wildfires mainly cover fighting the fires, and cleaning up debris often requires a major disaster declaration. If this bill passes, federal grants would also pay for environmental cleanup, and help to remove debris from public and private lands would be available sooner, even without a major disaster declaration. The EPA could also be directed to help remove hazardous waste.
