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.

"The Pinal County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) was developed in response to the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003 (HFRA) for the at-risk communities and unincorporated areas in Pinal County, Arizona, located in and around public lands administered by the US Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (USDI BLM) Gila District Office, Safford and Tucson Field Offices; the USDI BLM Phoenix District Office, Lower Sonoran Field Office; the Tonto National Forest (TNF); and the Coronado National Forest (CNF). HFRA established ... incentives for communities to develop comprehensive wildfire protection plans in a collaborative, inclusive process ... A CWPP developed in accordance with HFRA is the most effective way to acquire federal funding for fire preparedness and planning. Pinal County, partner agencies, and participating communities wish to adopt a CWPP to better protect their communities from wildfire risk, to better prepare citizens, and to become eligible to apply for and receive federal and other grant monies to implement wildland fire mitigation projects and programs"--Executive Summary, page v.

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.
