Document detailing eight key steps to successfully developing CWPPs. As communities develop and implement their community wildfire protection plans (CWPP), they have successes that other communities may find useful as they begin their CWPP efforts. At a recent meeting of people involved in the development of CWPPs at the local, state, and national level, individuals shared what have been the keys to their success in developing and implementing CWPPs. These keys are offered as touchstones for helping to direct your CWPP development.
