Community Wildfire Protection Plan
Collaboratively developed document identifying priorities and recommending actions
The Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) for Mendocino County:
This CWPP was developed through a collaborative effort by a core team comprised of federal, state, and local agencies, organizations, tribal representatives, and residents. It offers a comprehensive hazard assessment, project recommendations, and background information on the community’s wildland fire environment, including relevant land management plans and agencies.
The primary objective of this CWPP is to enhance local communities’ wildfire mitigation capacity by facilitating collaboration with government agencies. This collaboration aims to identify high-risk areas and prioritize efforts in mitigation, fire suppression, and emergency preparedness. Additionally, the CWPP seeks to increase public awareness regarding both natural and human-caused wildland fire risks to lives, safety, and the local economy.
The Mendocino County CWPP was updated in May 2025.
