Post-Wildfire Infrastructure Assistance Program

How it works

The Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management (DFFM) administered this program to help public and private landowners recover from wildfire damage. The program was funded at $10 million and was tied to infrastructure recovery efforts related to Arizona wildfires.

What the money covers

The page says the program funded emergency repairs for infrastructure damaged by fires or fire suppression activities occurring on July 1, 2020, and after. It describes the goal as helping repair physical systems, operational structures, and facilities needed for urban, rural, agricultural, cultural, and natural resources.

Amounts and matching

The official page states that the program allocated $10,000,000 total. It also says awards were limited to applicants most significantly impacted, were first-come, first-served, and could be partial depending on severity of need and funding availability. Applicants had to exhaust other sources such as insurance and federal aid first, or show they did not qualify for other reimbursements.

How to apply

The page references a Request for Proposal Guidance document for eligibility and application details, but the main page states that applications are closed.

Timing and deadlines

The page says the grant is closed and all funds have been awarded.
