Overview
In June 2019, the City was awarded a $100,000 Cal Fire grant for the development of a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP), which identifies and prioritizes areas for hazardous fuel reduction treatments. The CWPP outlines an action plan that will protect at-risk communities and essential infrastructure from wildfire, as well as make recommendations to reduce structural ignitability throughout the community. Having a CWPP in place also increases the City's chances of securing grant funding to implement the recommended action items.
The City is in the process of developing a citywide CWPP, a community-based plan focused on identifying and addressing local hazards, risks, and vulnerabilities from wildfire. The CWPP will provide a roadmap of action items to help the community prevent, mitigate, respond, and recover from the potential wildfire threat. It may also assist the City and its partners in qualifying for State and federal funding opportunities to implement the plan.
