Title:	Oregon Community Wildfire Protection Plan Boundaries - 2017
Originator:	Teresa (TzA) Alcock, Oregon Department of Forestry, Fire and GIS Analyst
Publication Date:	20180727
Abstract:	A Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) is a plan developed by a community in an area with exposure to wildfire. The Community Wildfire Protection Planning process is a collaboration between communities and agencies interested in reducing their susceptibility to wildfire.A valid CWPP has three minimum requirements. First, the plan must be collaboratively developed by local and state government representatives in consultation with federal agencies and other interested parties. Second, the plan must identify and prioritize areas for hazardous fuel reduction treatments, as well as recommending methods of treatments that will protect at-risk communities and essential infrastructure. Third, the plan must recommend measures that homeowners and communities can take to reduce ignitability of structures throughout the area addressed by the plan.The Healthy Forest Restoration Act (HFRA) requires that three decision-makers mutually agree to the final contents of the CWPP. The three are the applicable local government (i.e. counties or cities), the local fire department(s) and the State entity responsible for forest management (ODF). These three are directed to consult with and involve local representatives of the USFS and BLM and other interested parties or persons in the development of the CWPP. The statutory definition of a CWPP appears in Title I of the HFRA. The HRFA decrees that communities, which have a CWPP in place, will be a priority for receiving hazardous fuels reduction funding administrated by the USFS and BLM.?
