Wildfire Disaster Funding Act This bill amends the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 to require specified adjustments to discretionary spending limits in FY2017-FY2026 to accommodate appropriations for wildfire suppression operations in the Wildland Fire Management accounts at the Department of Agriculture (USDA) or the Department of the Interior. If USDA or Interior determines that supplemental appropriations are necessary for wildfire suppression operations, the bill requires the relevant department to submit to Congress a request for the funding and a plan for obligating the funds. The bill also requires the President's budget to include the average costs for wildfire suppression over the previous 10 years.

S. 1842. Wildfire Disaster Funding Act. Encouraged Members of Congress to take proactive steps to manage wildfires before they happen. Specifically, we encouraged members to cosponsor the Wildfire Disaster Funding Act while sharing NWF's October report on Megafires. Needed reforms include speeding forest restoration, cutting carbon pollution, and fixing the Forest Service's budget. H.R. 4460. Disaster Recovery Reform Act. Highlighted a provision in H.R. 4460 that could potentially increase flooding in the future. Specifically, this provision would allow FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grants Program (HMGP) funds to be spent on Army Corps projects such as navigation, which often exacerbate flooding and negatively impact the natural ecosystems that absorb and reduce floodwaters. H.R. 4667. Disaster Supplemental for Hurrcanes, Wildfires, and Other Purposes. Expressed NWF's opposition to a provision in H.R. 4667 that would absolve FEMA of its obligations to adhere to the Endangered Species Act when implementing its flood programs. This is important because proper flood mitigation efforts can both reduce the risk of flooding and improve the quality of wildlife habitat.
