Alameda County Community Wildfire Protection Plan
A Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) is a collaboratively developed plan that identifies wildland fire hazards, prioritizes ways to reduce those hazards and recommends measures for homeowners and communities to reduce ignitability of structures.  DFSC plans to spend 2011 and part of 2012 working with community members and agency partners to develop such a plan for Alameda County.  To learn more about the upcoming planning process see Alameda County Community Wildfire Plan.
