The order allows the federal government to bypass California's existing water management practices if they are deemed ineffective. This directive, which was formalized on January 26, 2025, instructs various federal secretaries, including those of Defense, Justice, Homeland Security, Commerce, Interior, and Agriculture, to take immediate action to secure water supplies to aid in wildfire response efforts.
