Coalition urges Congress to treat wildfires as national-security threat
Original: A growing coalition wants Congress to think about wildfires as a national-security challenge
A growing coalition of experts and advocates is pressing Congress to classify wildfires as a national-security challenge rather than solely a natural-disaster issue. The push, reported by Federal News Network, argues that increasingly severe fire seasons threaten infrastructure, military readiness, and communities on a scale that demands a coordinated federal security response, not just emergency management.
Why now: Severe and worsening wildfire seasons are driving renewed debate over how the federal government should categorize and fund the threat.
