Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) Update
A Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) is a collaborative and comprehensive document that outlines strategies and actions to reduce the risk of wildfires and enhance community resilience in areas prone to wildfires. CWPPs are developed by communities in collaboration with local fire departments, government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and other stakeholders. These plans help communities assess wildfire risks, identify vulnerable areas, and prioritize actions to mitigate those risks.
The last update to Shasta County's CWPP occurred in 2016, however it is not inclusive and covers only portions of the county. Additionally, numerous catastrophic wildfires have occurred since 2016, severely changing the current conditions. The updated plan will reflect a comprehensive and current assessment of Shasta County's risks.
