The purpose of the Community Wildfire Defense Grant Program is to assist at-risk local communities with planning and mitigating against the risk created by wildfire. To help communities in the wildland urban interface (WUI) implement the three goals of the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy to:
- Restore and Maintain Landscapes
- Create Fire Adapted Communities:
- Improve Wildfire Response:
There are two primary project types for which the grant provides funding:
- The development and revision of Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP).
- The implementation of projects described in a CWPP that is less than ten years old. **Important:
