Some communities in Texas can now apply for a federal grant under Texas A&M Forest Service to mitigate against risks caused by wildfires.
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — This summer has seen some of the costliest wildfires in Texas in years, and with climate change fueling hot and dry conditions, that’s likely to remain a risk going forward. Now, eligible communities in Texas can apply for a federal grant under Texas A&M Forest Service to mitigate against risks caused by wildfires.
“The Community Wildfire Defense Grant offers high-risk communities a way to improve their mitigation planning efforts,” said Alex Bregenzer, Texas A&M Forest Service Community Wildfire Protection Plans program coordinator. “These types of mitigation efforts are reducing wildfire risk across the state at a time when human-caused wildfires are an ever-present threat to our communities.”
“Our personnel at Texas A&M Forest Service are taking a leadership role in the administration of the Community Wildfire Defense Grant in Texas,” said Bruce Woods, Department Head of Mitigation and Prevention. “We stand ready to offer technical support and subject matter expertise to communities throughout the grant application process.”
