Fire Season Outlook/ Greenhouse Gases/ Drunk Driving Deaths

Officials emphasize interagency partnership, public awareness as keys to protecting communities from wildfire
 BOISE, ID – May 13, 2013 – During a visit to the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) in Boise, Idaho today, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Interior Secretary Sally Jewell outlined the Federal Government's efforts to ensure collaboration in protecting Americans from wildfire, and urged homeowners and local communities to take steps to reduce their risks during the 2013 fire season. The outlook for the fire season is severe across much of the Western United States.



“Item 1: The Board will consider its safety report, "Reaching Zero: Actions to Eliminate Alcohol-Impaired Driving.” The report describes the scope of the impaired-driving problem, summarizes previous and current efforts to reduce impaired-driving crashes, and includes safety recommendations to address impaired driving. Eliminate substance-impaired driving is on the NTSB's Most Wanted List.”
