Participants The CWPP process must include local government, the local fire authority, local CSFS representatives and representatives of relevant federal land management agencies, as well as other relevant non-governmental partners. Partners should assess community risks and values, identify protection priorities and establish fuels treatment projects. Plan Components Include: A description of the community’s wildland-urban interface (WUI) problem areas, preferably with a map and narrative. Information on the community’s preparedness to respond to a wildland fire. A community risk analysis that considers, at a minimum, fuel hazards, risk of wildfire occurrence and community values to be protected both in the immediate vicinity and the surrounding zone where potential fire spread poses a realistic threat. Identification of fuels treatment priorities on the ground and methods of treatment. Ways to reduce structural ignitability. An implementation plan. Level of Specificity A CWPP can be developed for any level of “community,” from a homeowners association or mountain town to a county or metropolitan city. Information contained in the plan should be at a level of specificity appropriate for the community. County level plans can be used as an umbrella for community plans but should not be considered a substitute. A county plan will not provide the detail needed for project-level planning. All core group members must sign the plan, identifying that it is reasonable and implementable and they agree with the process that took place and the outcome prior to the CSFS accepting the plan through the signature of the District Forester.
