## Resource

Beaverhead County’s emergency services are in crisis as federal FEMA funding has plummeted from $50,000 to under $15,000—threatening to vanish entirely—just as wildfires rage. This isn’t an isolated problem; Montana’s counties face similar cuts, forcing local governments to self-fund critical roles like fire wardens and sanitarians. With DES offices closing across the state, communities now rely more on state and federal aid during emergencies, exposing how top-down budget decisions directly endanger frontline responders and public safety.
