This bill requires the Secretaries of Agriculture, Interior, and Homeland Security to conduct a comprehensive review of wildfire conditions in the United States every four years for the next 20 years. Each quadrennial review must analyze how the built and natural environments have changed since the last review, their impact on wildfire prevention and response, and the relationship between wildfires and public health. Within 12 months of the bill's enactment and then every four years thereafter, the three departments must submit a joint report to Congress that identifies anticipated wildfire challenges, evaluates progress toward established wildfire management goals, and recommends necessary federal legislation and administrative actions. The bill reflects Congress's view that wildfire management requires coordination across federal, state, tribal, and local governments and should be guided by existing strategic frameworks and expert recommendations. No specific funding amount is allocated in the bill; it establishes a reporting and coordination mechanism among federal agencies to improve long-term wildfire planning and response.
