Community Wildfire Protection Plans in Colorado

In this article, we highlight similarities and differences across levels of Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPPs) within Colorado: county, fire protection districts, and owners associations. The goal was to assist communities faced with wildland fire risk by understanding differences among CWPPs in terms of team composition, participation, communication, and community outreach and education. These results better inform those involved with CWPPs on ways to work together, improve community involvement, and incorporate CWPPs into local wildfire risk reduction programs.
