Wildland-Urban Interface Prevention, Preparedness, and Mitigation Funding

How it works

The Utah Division of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands (FFSL) says this program provides an opportunity for eligible entities to apply for a grant to support projects and activities related to wildfire hazard reduction in high-risk areas where structures and other human development meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland. The FFSL guidance says the project focus is on supporting reduction of wildfire risk to human safety, water, and property.

What the money covers

Official FFSL guidance describes funding for wildfire-hazard-reduction projects in the wildland-urban interface. The program is intended for eligible entities, not individual homeowners, and FFSL’s materials emphasize mitigation and preparedness work rather than post-fire recovery.

How it applies to homeowners

Homeowners are not direct applicants. The FFSL hazard-mitigation materials say that wildfire mitigation projects can be funded under this and related hazard-mitigation grant programs, but the direct applicant is generally a local or other eligible entity that may implement work benefiting homes or neighborhoods.

Timing and deadlines

The official program page does not state a general open/close date in the material reviewed. Application timing is therefore listed as unknown.
