New Wildfire Planning Resources
The Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) recently published new wildfire resources to support local agencies and communities as they plan for wildfire events at the community scale. The new resources include an updated Fire Hazard Planning Technical Advisory (TA) that helps cities and counties, through their general plans, address wildfire risk. The Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Planning Guide complements the TA by providing specific examples and best practice case studies for communities to reference as they plan and implement wildfire solutions.
A free, informational webinar about the new resources is being offered on September 14, at 1:00 p.m. Registration is required.
