City of Murrieta CWPP

With the increased severity and frequency of wildfires in California, community wildfire planning is extremely important to help prepare for and adapt to wildfire. A Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) is a tool to help reduce the severity and impact of wildfires and facilitate community resilience. CWPPs are collaborative agreements, developed by at-risk communities in consultation with various interested parties and agreed to by the appropriate local government, fire department, and State Forester. Consistent with the Healthy Forest Restoration Act of 2003, this CWPP serves as a mechanism for gathering community input and identifying areas with high wildfire risk, and for identifying potential projects intended to mitigate wildfire risk.
