Project Themes
Project Themes
The project seeks to improve community resiliency in the face of increasing threats of catastrophic wildfires
A series of community planning meetings will provide education around fire science and safety in an urbanized redwood forest setting, increase coordination with local fire protection authorities and other relevant agencies, identify areas of high risk in the community and prioritize projects for future implementation.
Plan includes high priority forest fuels reduction projects.
Reducing impacts of wildfires can help reduce negative impact to watersheds post fire.

- Description
- The CWPP, created by the federal Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003, has three requirements: 1) it is to be developed collaboratively with input from fire agencies and the community; 2) it is to identify and prioritize treatment areas and mitigation strategies and treatments; and 3) it is to recommend measures to reduce the ignitability of structures. This CWPP provides a general overview and assessment of wildfire risks to the Camp Meeker community, using the federal CWPP requirements and the Sonoma County CWPP. Working with this information with fire agencies, landowners and other interested community stakeholders, a set of priority project actions were developed to increase fire resiliency. These actions are intended to reduce the potential loss of human life, property, and natural and cultural resources due to wildfire. This CWPP will also help groups or agencies collaborate and seek funding for these wildfire risk reduction projects.
