Acting deputy secretary makes the announcement at Saguaro National Park.
Acting Deputy Secretary of the Interior Laura Daniel-Davis announced that $236 million will be distributed by the Department of the Interior (DOI) to wildfire management projects across the country. The acting deputy secretary made the announcement this month at Saguaro National Park in Arizona, which will be receiving close to $10 million to implement wildfire mitigation and recovery throughout the state.
“Since the enactment of the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Interior Department has worked quickly to get money out the door and in the hands of states, Tribes, and local communities to help combat the ever-growing threat of the climate crisis,” said Acting Deputy Secretary Daniel-Davis. “Communities in the West in particular understand this threat – with increasing temperatures and more severe fires – and the Biden-Harris administration is taking action by investing in comprehensive wildland fire management that is creating more climate-resilient lands across the nation.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For the acting deputy secretary to seek God’s direction as she fulfills her role in the Interior Department.
- For Secretary Deb Haaland as she oversees the wildfire mitigation project funding and strategies.
