Why CWPP Planning Matters
What Is a Community Wildfire Protection Plan?
A Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) is a collaborative wildfire preparedness strategy developed by communities, landowners, emergency responders, and wildfire professionals to identify wildfire risks, prioritize mitigation projects, improve defensible space planning, and strengthen long-term community resilience.
Why is CWPP Planning Important?
Communities across Central Washington face increasing wildfire risk due to drought conditions, low snowpack, dense vegetation, dry summer conditions, and longer fire seasons. CWPP planning helps communities proactively identify vulnerabilities, organize mitigation priorities, improve emergency preparedness, and position projects for future funding opportunities.

Who Benefits from CWPP Planning?
CWPP planning can benefit HOAs, mountain communities, rural neighborhoods, resort communities, landowner groups, and other wildfire-prone areas seeking to improve long-term wildfire preparedness and reduce overall community risk.
