1E-01-P101-EP
Objective
• Describe basic fire prevention, mitigation planning, planning elements, and standards.
1E-02-P101-EP
Introduction
• The goal is to develop and implement programs that maintain a high level of efficiency in both time and cost.
1E-03-P101-EP
• The fire prevention mitigation plan should represent current trends and management decisions based on management direction.
1E-04-P101-EP
• Activities must be simple and practical in order to plan, educate, and inform all people using the wildlands, as well as people who live adjacent to wildland and rural areas.
1E-05-P101-EP
• Effort must be focused on those causes which start the greatest number of unwanted human-caused fires and which indicate increasing trends.
1E-06-P101-EP
Recommended Planning Minimum Criteria
• Planning criteria should provide policy, direction, and establish implementation and program standards.
1E-07-P101-EP
Recommended Planning Guidelines
• Purpose• Introduction• Objectives• Problems
• Description• Large fire potential• Occurrence analysis
1E-08-P101-EP
Fire Prevention Treatments
• Education• Engineering• Enforcement
• Administration• Fire history• Charters• Cooperatives
1E-09-P101-EP
Recommended Planning Elements
• Identification• Identify
management units• Compartments• Communities at risk
• Unit vulnerability• Planned attack• Objectives• Compartment
vulnerability
1E-10-P101-EP
Recommended Planning Elements
• Risk analysis• Describe fire history• Catastrophic fire
potential
• Values at risk• Community at risk
planning criteria
1E-11-P101-EP
Planning Considerations
• Program options• General actions• Specific actions
• Non-personnel expenses
• Responsibilities
1E-12-P101-EP
The National Fire Plan
• Communities at risk - Agency
• Communities at risk - Vicinity
• Community at risk - assessment standards
• Community at risk - educational component

Fire Prevention/Mitigation Measures
1E-15-P101-EP
Public Education• Activities• Media• Bilingual• Youth programs• Burning Issues
• Adult programs• Arson awareness• Event management• The WUI
1E-16-P101-EP
Community Outreach/Involvement• Fairs, exhibits• Community Fire
Safe awareness• Firewise action
programs
• Preventing Home Ignitions
• Fire Safe Councils
1E-17-P101-EP
Engineering Elements
• WUI fuels assessment standards
• WUI fuels planning standards
1E-18-P101-EP
Recreation Areas
• Fire protection considerations• Fire prevention activities• Site evaluation• Establish standards• Agency requirements
1E-19-P101-EP
Enforcement
• Restricted fire use• Permit requirements• Code enforcement• Fire investigation standards• Fire inspections
1E-20-P101-EP
Enforcement
• Fire prevention patrol
• Fire prevention patrol plan to include tools, qualifications, types, activities, safety, etc.
1E-21-P101-EP
Administration
• Budgets• Staffing• Preparedness criteria• Training, skill development• Job standards
1E-22-P101-EP
Community Wildfire Protection Plans
1E-23-P101-EP
Community Wildfire Protection Plans
• Address wildland/urban interface (WUI) challenges
• Thorough, locally supported solutions
• Need leadership and teamwork
1E-24-P101-EP
Background
• Healthy Forests Restoration Act (HFRA)
• Speed up development and implementation of hazardous fuels projects
• Expedite environmental review authorities in the WUI
1E-25-P101-EP
Agencies/Communities collaborate on:
– Hazardous fuel reduction (HFR) project development
– Priority placed on projects identified in the CWPP
– Gives communities a chance to influence how agencies implement fuels projects
1E-26-P101-EP
Key Points
• CWPP developed by local government with help from federal/state agencies
• Plans can be simple or complex
1E-27-P101-EP
• CWPP plans should include:
– Forest/range conditions
– Values-at-risk
– Priorities for action
1E-28-P101-EP
CWPP Minimum Requirements• Collaboration
• Prioritized fuel reduction
• Treatment of structural ignitability
1E-29-P101-EP
• Three entities must agree on final content
– Local government– Local fire department– State land
management agency1E-30-P101-EP
How CWPP Helps Communities
• Define appropriate WUI boundary
• Priority to projects that protect communities-at-risk or watershed
• Expedite NEPA procedures for CWPP projects
1E-31-P101-EP
Key Points• At least 50 percent of funds allocated for
HFR on FS/BLM lands must be for WUI projects – as identified in the CWPP.
• Communities with CWPPs should have priority when funds are allocated for projects on non-federal land.
1E-32-P101-EP
• CWPPs help prioritize projects as envisioned in the National Fire Plan and 10-Year
Comprehensive Strategy
