Community Wildfire Protection Plans Grant
Administration

• For projects not on federal land Is the proposed
  project in an area addressed by a CWPP? Is the
  project included in the CWPP? At what priority?
  Is it in a WUI in the CWPP?
• For projects on federal land Is the project in
  an area addressed by a CWPP? Does it implement a
  treatment recommended in the CWPP? Does the
  treatment proposed by the agency match a method
  recommended in the plan?
• For all projects Is the project identified as
  primarily protecting the community and essential
  infrastructure or does it primarily serve to
  protect other community values? More on CWPP

Community Wildfire Protection Plan Mapping
Requirements

• Map inhabited areas at risk, areas containing
  infrastructure, and the WUI zone.
• Rate fuel hazard areas H, M, L threat
• Rate wildfire occurrence H, M, L
• Rate protection levels for homes, businesses,
  infrastructure H, M, L
• Rate other values needing protection H, M, L
• Identify levels of preparedness
• Prioritize fuels treatment areas and preferred
  methods
