Opportunity Summary:
The Communities at Risk Assistance Program (Idaho Falls District) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding opportunity aimed at lowering the risk and potential damage of wildfires to communities, especially in areas where homes and other development meet or border wildland vegetation (often referred to as the wildland-urban interface). The program is designed to support practical, on-the-ground actions and community-focused planning that help prevent catastrophic fire behavior, improve preparedness, and reduce harm to people, property, and natural resources.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expected to work closely with the recipient during the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The funded work could include several major categories of activity: community wildfire protection planning (such as developing or updating protection plans and identifying priority treatment areas); hazardous fuels reduction (for example, treatments that reduce overgrown or highly flammable vegetation to lower the intensity and spread of wildfire); maintenance and monitoring (continuing care of previously treated areas and tracking results over time to ensure treatments remain effective); mitigation and education (efforts that help communities reduce structural ignitability, improve defensible space practices, or increase public understanding of wildfire risk and prevention). In short, the focus is on reducing both the likelihood of severe wildfire impacts and the consequences if a fire occurs.
The announcement anticipated making a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and no minimum award amount specified. There was no cost share or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The eligible applicant pool was listed as unrestricted, indicating the opportunity was broadly open to many entity types (such as local governments, tribes, nonprofits, or other organizations), subject to any further eligibility details that may have been included in the full announcement package.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number L12AS00165 and the CFDA number 15.228, associated with the National Fire Plan and Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance. The opportunity was posted on July 12, 2012, with an application deadline of July 30, 2012, and it was later archived on September 30, 2012. Applicants were directed to download the full announcement instructions and application package via the application materials link, and assistance was available through the listed grants management contact: Christine K. Shaver, Grants Management Officer, at 208-373-3817 or christineshaver@blm.gov.
