Establishes a grant program for monitoring wildfires by satellite to enhance wildfire prevention and management.
The Strengthening Wildfire Resiliency Through Satellites Act of 2025 mandates the Secretary of the Interior, through the Director of the United States Geological Survey, to create a competitive grant program for monitoring wildfires by satellite. This program will award grants to eligible entities, which include state foresters, emergency managers, or equivalent officials. The grants will be used to purchase and integrate high-resolution imaging capabilities from the latest wildfire monitoring satellites and to analyze data for wildfire detection, assessment, response, and management.
