Fire Prevention Week, 2025

Fire Prevention Week has been declared, urging households and communities to prioritize fire prevention measures and honor the work of firefighters and first responders. The order also directs the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture to consolidate their wildland fire programs, encourages local wildfire preparedness and response, and mandates the use of new technology for wildfire identification and response. A task force was established to assess the Federal Emergency Management Agency's disaster response capabilities, and an Executive Order was signed to expedite recovery efforts in California, including a large-scale wildfire hazardous waste cleanup.
