NRCS Wildfire Rehabilitation Assistance
Montana Wildfires - Background Information
The Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) has the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) Program
available for local sponsors to use to aid in recovery work. NRCS provides
technical and financial assistance to install measures that reduce post-fire
damage. The measures are intended to reduce threats to life or property, retard
runoff, restore capacity of waterways, prevent flooding and/or soil erosion and
reduce damage from sediment and debris. The removal of debris deposited by the
disaster that is a health or safety hazard can be a part of such measures as
well.
In addition to the EWP Program, NRCS offers conservation information and
expertise to individual home owners or land owners seeking technical assistance
in their rehabilitation efforts.
