Recovery and post-fire flood response after catastrophic wildfires requires careful coordination across the entire landscape, between private landowners, local, state and Tribal governments, as well as and between federal agencies. To strengthen coordination across federal agencies during post-fire response and recovery, the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, the Interior, Commerce, Defense, Energy, Homeland Security, and the Environmental Protection Agency signed a memorandum of understanding to streamline post-fire management.
The agreement captures how participating federal partners plan to align post-fire condition assessments, increase emergency response capacity, and improve long-term recovery efforts across the landscape. This shared effort will be coordinated through the newly established Interagency Post-fire Integration Council (IPIC). Please join us for a one-hour webinar to meet incoming IPIC leadership, discuss priorities from the start, and look to ways to engage.
