Federal Resources

  • Landscape Scale Restoration Grants (LSR): Landscape Restoration Grants (LSR) are funded by the USDA Forest Service to support projects that improve and/or rehabilitate rural forests and rangelands, water resources, riparian areas, and wildlife habitat. LSR grants are available to state and local agencies, tribes, non-profit organizations, educational institutions, companies, and HOAs.
  • Emergency Watershed Protection Program (EWP): Through the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) Program, NRCS works with local sponsors to assess damage, stabilize streambanks, remove debris, and protect homes and infrastructure from future flooding. EWP offers technical and financial assistance to help local communities relieve imminent threats to life and property caused by floods, fires, windstorms and other natural disasters that impair a watershed.  This program does not require an emergency declaration.
  • USDA Emergency Forest Restoration Program (EFRP): The Emergency Forest Restoration Program (EFRP), administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA), helps non-industrial private forestland owners recover from natural disasters such as wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, windstorms, ice storms, floods, and other qualifying events. EFRP provides funding and technical support for approved conservation practices that restore forest health, mitigate further damage, and promote sustainable forest management.
  • Emergency Conservation Program (ECP): The Emergency Conservation Program (ECP), administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA), offers financial and technical assistance to agricultural producers to rehabilitate farmland damaged by natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, wildfires, drought, and other calamities. ECP helps producers with repairing disaster-damaged farmland and restoring agricultural production while preventing further environmental harm.
  • Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP): EQIP provides technical and financial assistance to agricultural producers and forest landowners to address natural resource concerns, such as air quality, water conservation, soil health, erosion and sedimentation, and wildlife habitat.
  • USDA Farm Service Agency Disaster Assistance Programs: USDA offers a variety of programs to help farmers, ranchers, communities, and businesses that have been hard hit by natural disaster events.

Other Educational Resources

  • Living with Fire: Living With Fire provides resources to homeowners, educators, community groups and firefighting professionals to improve defensible space, ensure homes have proper building materials, manage native and non-native vegetation and prepare for evacuation.
  • University of Nevada Reno Extension: Publications, workshops, and other educational resources. Topics include noxious weed abatement, pesticide safety, natural resource conservation, riparian management education, and natural resource stewardship.
  • Firewise USA: The national Firewise USA recognition program provides a collaborative framework to help neighbors in a geographic area get organized, find direction, and take action to increase the ignition resistance of their homes and community and to reduce wildfire risks at the local level.
