Empowering Commonsense Wildfire Prevention and Response

Executive Order June 18, 2025 Document 2025-11358

Summary

On June 12, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at enhancing wildfire prevention and response across the United States. The order mandates the consolidation of federal wildfire programs, encourages local preparedness through technology and partnerships, and calls for the removal of regulatory barriers that hinder effective wildfire management. This action could significantly impact communities by improving response times and reducing wildfire risks, but it may also prompt legal and political debates over state versus federal responsibilities and the environmental implications of modifying existing regulations.
