Grant Overview
Wyoming's vast wilderness areas and dry climate create a high risk of wildfires, with the state's rugged terrain and sparse population making fire prevention and mitigation particularly challenging. The 2020 wildfire season saw record-breaking fires across Wyoming, with over 1.2 million acres burned. Wyoming's wildfire risk is exacerbated by its aging infrastructure and limited wildfire mitigation resources. Community-led wildfire prevention efforts are essential to mitigating this risk. Wyoming's Wildfire Prevention grant supports education and outreach initiatives in high-risk areas, utilizing data-driven approaches to identify vulnerable regions and promote fire-safe practices. Who Should Apply in Wyoming? Nonprofit organizations and community groups with experience in wildfire prevention and education are eligible to apply. Applicants must demonstrate a clear understanding of Wyoming's wildfire risk landscape and a proven track record of effective community engagement. Wyoming's Frontier Counties Wyoming's 23 frontier counties are disproportionately affected by wildfire risk, with limited access to resources and infrastructure. The state's wildfire prevention efforts prioritize these areas, where provider shortages exceed national averages by 300%. Unlike Colorado applications, Wyoming requires demonstration of extreme rural delivery capacity due to frontier county designation. Wyoming's wildfire prevention initiatives focus on promoting fire-safe practices, enhancing community resilience, and supporting data-driven decision-making. By supporting community-led wildfire prevention efforts, Wyoming can reduce the risk of devastating wildfires and promote a culture of fire safety across the state.
