Wildfire & Drought Resources

Prepared Today. Stronger Tomorrow.

Wildfire and Drought affect Wyoming communities, landowners, producers, business, and local and tribal governments before, during and after an event. The Wyoming Grants Management Office (GMO) brings together federal and state funding resources for planning, preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation across both hazards.
