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 is pressing Congress to classify wildfires as a national security challenge rather than solely a natural disaster. The push, reported by Federal News Network, would reframe how the federal government prioritises funding, preparedness and military or homeland security resources for increasingly severe fire seasons across the United States.
Why now: Severe and worsening wildfire seasons are driving debate over whether federal response and funding frameworks should change.
