Wildland fires are a formidable natural hazard that can be difficult to prevent and control.  The rising incidence and intensity of wildfires, coupled with expanding development in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI), underscore the necessity for communities to proactively prepare for wildfire hazards.  Communities with high wildfire risk may even develop a formal Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) to reduce wildfire risks and enhance public safety.

If you are an emergency management agency or fire department who wants to formally assess wildfire risk and identify effective mitigation activities, we believe the Wildfire Protection Planning solution will help.

Wildfire Protection Planning will help organizations analyze historical wildfire patterns, evaluate their effects on structures, and prioritize mitigation efforts that minimize wildfire impacts on people and property.
