Protection Plans
Our Mission
A Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) is a collaborative, community-driven framework developed by local, state, federal, and tribal partners to reduce wildfire risk to people, homes, businesses, watersheds, cultural resources, infrastructure, natural ecosystems, and other valued resources within a defined planning area.
These plans are authorized and defined in Title I of the Healthy Forests Restoration Act (HFRA) of 2003, which provides communities with incentives such as the ability to establish a localized definition and boundary for the wildland-urban interface (WUI) and the opportunity to influence fuels treatment priorities on surrounding federal and non-federal lands.
