Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPPs)

Collaborative Wildfire Readiness

Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPPs) are vital tools designed to help communities reduce wildfire risks while protecting lives, property, and natural resources. These plans are developed through collaboration between local residents, fire agencies, and other stakeholders, ensuring that each community’s unique needs and challenges are addressed.

CWPPs outline priorities for hazardous fuel reduction, emergency preparedness, and public education, offering a strategic framework to guide wildfire mitigation efforts. By creating or adopting a CWPP, communities can access resources, funding opportunities, and technical assistance to implement these strategies effectively.
