To amend the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to authorize the President to provide certain fire management assistance to Indian Tribal Governments, and for other purposes.

This bill would expand and streamline federal fire management support for Indian Tribal Governments (tribes) by amending the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. It adds Indian Tribal Governments to the list of eligible recipients for fire management assistance and creates a new process allowing tribes to request assistance directly from the President, in addition to the existing path where states can request assistance. The measure requires regulatory updates within one year to implement these changes, including provisions for FEMA to directly receive and award fire management assistance to tribes, while preserving tribal eligibility to receive assistance via state-requested FMAs if a direct tribal request is not granted. The bill also requires government-to-government consultation with tribes during the regulatory development. In short, the bill aims to give tribes a more direct and timely avenue to obtain federal fire suppression support, while maintaining existing pathways and clarifying how such assistance will be administered.
