@SecVilsack
It's no longer a matter of if wildfire will threaten many western communities, it's a matter of when. Today I’m announcing expanded efforts with funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act to protect at-risk communities and critical infrastructure.

🚨 Today @SecVilsack announced expanded efforts to reduce wildfire risk across the western U.S. which will bring more than $490 million to directly protect at-risk communities and critical infrastructure across 11 key landscapes ➡️ usda.gov/media/press-re
Quote from Secretary Tom Vilsack that reads, "It is no longer a matter of if a wildfire will threaten many western communities in these landscapes, it is a matter of when. The need to invest more and to move quickly is apparent. This is a crisis and President Biden is treating it as one." Image of a wildfire burning in a forest to the right of text.

12/29 a survey crew from the Covelo Ranger Station completed the Jan snow survey on Anthony Peak. The avg snow depth was 26", compared to last year's 60". By April 2022, there was no measurable snow. The wetter weather pattern this year will hopefully increase 2023 snow depth.

The holiday season has different meanings for different people. In fact, from October to January, there are dozens of holidays, ranging from Diwali to Yule, and including individual saints' days as well as major holidays, both religious, like Hanukkah, and cultural, like Kwanzaa.
