Southeastern Interstate Forest Fire Protection Compact

Compacts

Purpose

The purpose of the Southeastern Interstate Forest Fire Protection Compact is to promote effective prevention and control of forest fires in the Southeastern region of the United States by development of integrated forest fire plans, by the maintenance of adequate forest fire fighting services by the member states, and by providing for mutual aide in fighting forest fires among compacting states of the region and with states which are party to other regional forest fire protection or agreements and for more adequate forest protection.

Term

Citizen appointees shall serve for two years; terms of appointees from the legislature automatically terminate when they cease to hold such office

Composition

The Compact shall be composed of four members from Virginia who are appointed by the Governor: two members from the General Assembly (one from the Senate, one from the House); and two from the state at-large, one of whom is associated with forestry or forest products industries. As Compact Administrator, the State Forester shall serve as an ex officio member.

Vacant Seats

The seat descriptions indicate if there is a specific requirement for that seat (a profession, consumer, someone who lives in a certain congressional district, etc.). If there is only a number listed (Seat 7), there is no specific criteria for that seat. A “citizen” seat requires someone who is not affiliated with that profession. If you're interested in any of these seats, submit an application.
