CWPP COMPONENTS

1
CWPP COMPONENTS

• What are the key/critical elements?

2
Strategic Requirements (HFRA)

• Collaboratively developed by interested parties
  and federal land agencies
• Identifies and prioritizes areas for hazardous
  fuel reduction
• Recommends measures to reduce the ignitability of
  structures.

3
Typical Major Components

• Introduction/Context/Authorities
• WUI and Community Descriptions
• Community Assessments/Risk/Capacities
• Community Mitigation Strategies
• Action Recommendations and Implementation
• Monitoring Plan
• Declaration of Agreement and Concurrence

4
Introduction/Context/Authorities

• Area Description
• Relevant Wildfire Policies/ Federal/State/Local
  Policies
• Need for the Community Wildfire Protection Plan
• Planning Process/coordinating group

5
WUI and Community Descriptions

• Wildland-Urban Interface Delineations
• Community Descriptions
• Local Preparedness and Protection Capability

6
Community Assessments

• Fire Regime and Fuel Type
• Risk of Ignition and Wildfire Occurrence
• Community Values at Risk
• Housing, Business, and Essential Infrastructure
  (hospital, communications)
• Recreation Areas/Watersheds/Wildlife Habitat
• Historic Patterns and Cultural Sites

7
Community Mitigation Strategies

• Action plan and priorities
• Projects identified
• Treatment approaches
• Wildfire prevention education processes
• Defensible space actions to reduce structural
  ignitability/community/individual

8
Other Keys

• Biomass Utilization
• Monitoring Plan/Timeframes
• Administrative Coordination/Responsible parties
• Declaration of Agreement and Concurrence

9
Collaborative Influences

• CWPP Goals
• improve fire prevention and suppression
• reduce hazardous forest fuels
• restore forest health
• promote community involvement
• recommend measures to reduce structural
  ignitability in the CWPP area
• encourage economic development in the community

• Influences
• HFRA/other authorities
• Leadership
• Community context/fire history
• How wildfire is defined or framed-safety/forest
  health
• Intermediary or coordinating entities--community,
  non-profit, state, regional, fire districts.
