In partnership with local agencies and stakeholders, the City of Napa is preparing a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) to help its community identify fire risks and actions to limit damages due to wildfire.
A Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) is a process for communities to address their wildfire risk, by promoting collaboration and local action through comprehensive planning and prioritization.
Through this process, the plan:
- Helps the community reach a common understanding of current environmental conditions.
- Identifies areas of high hazard in which conditions create the potential for extreme fire behavior.
- Creates forums for the public to share and learn about fire preparedness.
- Protects at-risk communities and essential infrastructure.
- Contributes to effective strategies for the community to reduce fire risks
Your input will help us develop a plan that reflects the needs of our community. The development of the City of Napa CWPP will require collaboration of federal, state, and local agency representatives, special interest groups and other interested parties, such as those that live or work in Napa. Below are some ways that you can get involved throughout the planning process:
