The Willow Creek Fire Safe
Council is currently developing a CWPP, or Community WIldfire
protection plan
The
CWPP enables a community to plan how it will reduce the risk of
wildfire. The plan identifies strategic sites and methods for fuel
reduction projects across the landscape and jurisdictional boundaries.
Benefits of having a CWPP include National Fire Plan funding priority
for projects identified in a CWPP. The United
States Forest Service
and
the Bureau
of Land Management
can expedite the
implementation of fuel treatments, identified in a
CWPP, through alternative environmental compliance options offered
under the HFRA.
