YOUR MISSION:
The overall mission of this project is to reduce the potential impacts of wildfire to life and
property in the populated areas and to the wildlands through creation of environmentally friendly
WUI's fuels reduction, defensible space and an on-going maintenance program by residents,
business and government agencies through cooperative collaboration, appropriate rules,
regulations and codes. The public will benefit through safer communities, reductions in loss to
life and property, potential reductions in homeowners insurance and preservation of the
landscape for the short and long term. Overall reduction of damaging fires will save the
taxpayers local and federal dollars for years to come.
OBJECTIVE:
Initial fuels reduction in WUI as identified in the MCCWPP prioritized hazard threat
analysis and agreed to by the MCCWPP technical group.
a. Equipment, personnel to create fuels break in the WUI
b. Methods of Disposal for the BIOMASS created by removal of fuels
c. Community outreach for participation in the initial WUI fuels reduction
2. Revision/adoption of county and local codes/ordinances and rules to compliment
maintenance of the WUI
a. Engage in the adoption of the Firewise Program throughout the CWPP
identified areas.
b. Engage in the adoption of the International Wildland-Urban Interface
Code by county and local jurisdictions.
