This is not an all-inclusive document but a guide to assist you in creating a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). Remember, the more agency representatives and resident leaders you include in helping you create the document, the better the plan you will have. Please note that items included as suggestions in the template are by no means inclusive of all components your community needs to work on. You will need to identify your own unique risks and create your own solutions. Do not forget to connect with state and local entities who may also be able to provide you with additional guidance about local risks and code requirements. The state of Texas , for example, provides some excellent guidance on developing a CWPP. Please refer to the reference materials added to the end of this document for additional guidance.

A community wildfire protection plan (CWPP) is a means of bringing local solutions to wildland fire management. In developing and implementing CWPPs, communities assume a leadership role in reducing wildfire risk on federal and nonfederal land. In this publication, we identify best management practices for CWPP development and implementation based on the experiences of 13 communities in 8 states. These communities represent much of the social and ecological diversity found across the U.S. in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI)--where human development meets forested areas.
