Follow-up to Introductory Meetings

The June 2009 Introductory Meetings for CWPP Development were very well attended in both San Mateo and Santa Cruz Counties. The two-hour agenda was packed, including presentations by CAL FIRE (San Mateo-Santa Cruz Unit) and the RCDs (San Mateo County RCD and RCD of Santa Cruz County), Q&A, and breakout sessions during which participants responded to the following prompts:

Breakout Questions:

1. What are critical assets in your community that need to be protected from wildfire? Indicate preferred treatment method if relevant.
2. What are your concerns about access to fight fires? Can you provide any updates on conditions of access roads, gates, etcetera?
3. Is there anything you see on this map that you would consider inaccurate or incomplete?
4. Are there any special hazards in your community with respect to wildfire? Indicate preferred treatment method if relevant.
5. Are there key individuals in your community that you think should be involved in developing the CWPP for any reason?
6. Is there anything else you’d like to share about this process, such as hopes or concerns?
