- What it does
- In 2022, the Forest Service launched the Wildfire Crisis Strategy to addresses wildfire risks to critical infrastructure, to protect communities, and to make forests more resilient. The implementation of the strategy and treatment of selected landscapes began in 2022. In January 2023, the USDA secretary announced 11 additional landscapes, prioritizing protecting underserved communities, critical infrastructure, and public water sources, as well as to address risks on land close to tribal communities. Project work to reduce wildfire risk will span upward of 45 million acres across 21 landscapes in the Western United States.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
