Interior IG: Wildland urban interface communities lack funding oversight and guidance

Wildland urban interface communities lack funding oversight and guidance from DOI, Report No.: ER-EV-MOA-0012-2009 July 2010

  • “This memorandum transmits our evaluation of the Department of the Interior’s (DOl) activities pertaining to wildland urban interface areas (WUI) where private and federal properties intersect and where wildland fires may ignite without warning. We conducted this evaluation in response to concerns expressed by the U.S. Congress and the Office of Management and Budget. DOl’s four fire agencies- Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs spend approximately one billion dollars annually to reduce wildland fire damages. Even so, DOl’s wildland fire management programs received the lowest rating possible from OMB’s Performance Assessment Rating Tool (PART): “Results Not Demonstrated.”
