Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP)
The Office of Wildfire Preparedness and Resilience is updating the Western El Dorado County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP).
What is a CWPP?
A CWPP is a collaborative, community-driven plan that provides strategies and actions to better prepare for, respond to, and recover from wildfires. The plan identifies specific wildland fire risks facing communities and neighborhoods and provides prioritized recommendations for local communities and agencies to reduce those risks.
Why is the CWPP Important?
- Enhance life safety and preparedness for responders and the public
- Reduce the wildfire threat to values and assets at risk
- Create healthy and productive fire adapted communities
- Develop a CWPP that prioritizes mitigation actions for identified risks and hazards on the west slope of El Dorado County
- Enhance the resiliency of Western El Dorado County to future climate change impacts
- Improve accountability, public trust, and efficiency in implementation of action items identified in the CWPP
Where Can I Get More Information?
Updates on the El Dorado County CWPP will be posted to the website.
