It would require five annual briefings to Congress on which communities received FireGuard information, wildfire maps before and after containment, the time from satellite fire detection to alerts for local responders, and efforts to use new satellite and aerial surveillance technology. The program would end on December 31, 2031.
States, counties, municipalities, and Tribal governments that receive FireGuard information would be included in the briefings to Congress. The bill does not describe how the program would change services for individuals.
The bill does not specify expenses or funding.
