CWPP Project Proposal Guidelines: Your Feedback Is Needed ASAP!

We are seeking input from homeowners, businesses, landowners, land managers, fire districts and federal, state and local governments about projects you would like included in the CWPP. For example, projects may reduce hazardous fuel loads, develop emergency evacuation plans, improve access for emergency response, or improve understanding of fire on the landscape.

Fire prevention projects that are included in a CWPP are more likely to acquire grant funding and receive assistance from partnerships that have been formed to reduce fire hazards. Fifty percent of federal funds for fuel reduction must be spent in these areas, and communities that develop a CWPP are given priority when funding opportunities for fuels reduction on private and public lands are available.

Please fill out the Project Proposal Guidelines and submit your project by December 23, 2009 to wildfireplan@gmail.com. Email us to request the Project Proposal Guidelines as a Word Document. You may also view the Project Proposal Guidelines as a GoogleDoc or as a webpage.
