2. Objective
• Describe basic fire prevention,
mitigation planning, planning elements,
and standards.
1E-02-P101-EP
3. Introduction
• The goal is to develop and implement
programs that maintain a high level of
efficiency in both time and cost.
1E-03-P101-EP
4. • The fire prevention mitigation plan
should represent current trends and
management decisions based on
management direction.
1E-04-P101-EP
5. • Activities must be simple and practical
in order to plan, educate, and inform all
people using the wildlands, as well as
people who live adjacent to wildland
and rural areas.
1E-05-P101-EP
6. • Effort must be focused on those causes
which start the greatest number of
unwanted human-caused fires and
which indicate increasing trends.
1E-06-P101-EP
7. Recommended Planning Minimum
Criteria
• Planning criteria should provide policy,
direction, and establish implementation
and program standards.
1E-07-P101-EP
9. Fire Prevention Treatments
• Education • Administration
• Engineering • Fire history
• Enforcement • Charters
• Cooperatives
1E-09-P101-EP
10. Recommended Planning Elements
• Identification • Unit vulnerability
• Identify • Planned attack
management units • Objectives
• Compartments • Compartment
• Communities at risk vulnerability
1E-10-P101-EP
11. Recommended Planning Elements
• Risk analysis • Values at risk
• Describe fire history • Community at risk
• Catastrophic fire planning criteria
potential
1E-11-P101-EP
12. Planning Considerations
• Program options • Non-personnel
• General actions expenses
• Specific actions • Responsibilities
1E-12-P101-EP
13. The National Fire Plan
• Communities at risk • Community at risk -
- Agency assessment
• Communities at risk standards
- Vicinity • Community at risk -
educational
component
1E-13-P101-EP
16. Public Education
• Activities • Adult programs
• Media • Arson awareness
• Bilingual • Event management
• Youth programs • The WUI
• Burning Issues
1E-16-P101-EP
17. Community Outreach/Involvement
• Fairs, exhibits • Preventing Home
• Community Fire Ignitions
Safe awareness • Fire Safe Councils
• Firewise action
programs
1E-17-P101-EP
24. Community Wildfire Protection Plans
• Address wildland/urban interface
(WUI) challenges
• Thorough, locally supported
solutions
• Need leadership and
teamwork
1E-24-P101-EP
25. Background
• Healthy Forests Restoration Act (HFRA)
• Speed up development and implementation of
hazardous fuels projects
• Expedite environmental review authorities in the
WUI
1E-25-P101-EP
26. Agencies/Communities collaborate on:
– Hazardous fuel reduction (HFR) project
development
– Priority placed on projects identified in the CWPP
– Gives communities a chance to influence how
agencies implement fuels projects
1E-26-P101-EP
27. Key Points
• CWPP developed by local government
with help from federal/state agencies
• Plans can be simple or complex
1E-27-P101-EP
28. • CWPP plans should include:
– Forest/range conditions
– Values-at-risk
– Priorities for action
1E-28-P101-EP
30. • Three entities must agree on final
content
– Local government
– Local fire department
– State land
management agency
1E-30-P101-EP
31. How CWPP Helps Communities
• Define appropriate WUI boundary
• Priority to projects that protect communities-at-
risk or watershed
• Expedite NEPA procedures for CWPP projects
1E-31-P101-EP
32. Key Points
• At least 50 percent of funds allocated for
HFR on FS/BLM lands must be for WUI
projects – as identified in the CWPP.
• Communities with CWPPs should have
priority when funds are allocated for
projects on non-federal land.
1E-32-P101-EP
33. • CWPPs help prioritize projects as
envisioned in the National
Fire Plan and 10-Year
Comprehensive Strategy
1E-33-P101-EP
34. Summary and Review Lesson
Objective
• Describe basic fire prevention,
mitigation planning, planning elements,
and standards
