The megafire crisis is solvable, and the Senate is delaying a solution. The Fix Our Forests Act will help tackle catastrophic wildfires by focusing on four critical areas: planning, permitting reform, technology adoption, and community resilience.
The House already passed its version of the Fix Our Forests Act last year with strong bipartisan support. Tell the Senate to act now.
Why is this important?
Catastrophic megafires are becoming the norm in America. Over 7 million acres have already burned across the U.S. this year, and that number continues to grow.
These fires reach neighborhoods, destroy our homes and businesses, and fill the skies with toxic smoke across our country.
The Fix Our Forests Act will:
● Accelerate the pace and scale of wildfire resilience projects to reduce the impact of fires and smoke.
● Help the federal government adopt cutting-edge wildfire technology at the speed communities need to prevent catastrophic fire.
● Give communities the tools and resources they need to reduce wildfire risk and make their homes more resilient.
Join the effort to end the megafire crisis by sending a letter to your Senators urging them to support the Fix Our Forests Act.
Dear [send:full_name],
As your constituent, I urge you to take bipartisan action to combat the megafire crisis and pass the Fix Our Forests Act, S. 1462.
Over 7 million acres have already burned this year – 45% more than this time last year. These fires reach into neighborhoods, destroy our homes and businesses, and fill the skies with toxic smoke across our country.
We cannot tackle 21st century megafires with 20th century tools. Without reform, the residents of [State] remain dangerously unprepared.
The Fix Our Forests Act offers Congress an immediate opportunity to address the nation's growing wildfire crisis through modern, science-driven wildfire management. The Fix Our Forests Act would cut the red tape hampering wildfire resilience and allow the federal government to adopt cutting-edge tech to tackle modern blazes.
This is the most consequential piece of federal wildfire legislation in a generation. It already has the support of governors, state forestry agencies, community leaders, conservation organizations, and an overwhelming bipartisan majority in the House of Representatives. You and your colleagues now have the opportunity to pass the Fix Our Forests Act in the Senate.
I urge you to take bipartisan action and pass the Fix Our Forests Act.
Thank you,
