CWPP Status and Meeting Sign-up

A Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) is a plan developed by local communities, resource managers, large landowners, city planners, County/State/Federal agencies including emergency responders, state foresters, and other interested parties to:

• Comprehensively assess local wildfire hazards

• Conduct a community risk assessment

• Establish hazard reduction priorities

• Recommend and prioritize actions and projects

• Influence wildland-urban interface (WUI) wildfire mitigation planning and funding

A Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) helps communities clarify and refine priorities for protecting life, property, and critical infrastructure in the wildland-urban interface (WUI). CWPPs are built on collaboration and communication among diverse partners, working together to reduce wildfire risk.
