Community Wildfire Resiliency Plans (CWRP)

Community Wildfire Resiliency Plans (CWRP)

CWRPs are the next generation of Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPPs). CWPPs were introduced in 2004 as part of the Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative (SWPI) and served as the primary wildfire risk reduction planning mechanism for British Columbia communities.

To better ensure that CWRPs consistently take a comprehensive approach toward wildfire, including risk reduction and resiliency measures, the BC Wildfire Service (BCWS) partnered with the BC FireSmart Committee to develop a new framework for Community Wildfire Resiliency Planning.

The goal of the new CWRP template is to help communities develop a comprehensive, and science-based approach toward wildfire risk reduction that reflects local priorities and provincial goals for prevention and mitigation.
