In a new
survey, the State is seeking input from counties, planners,
fire professionals, land managers, and other wildfire specialists
on wildland-urban interface (WUI) best practices from across
California. The results will be used to inform the development of
a WUI best practices inventory and case studies that will focus
on community-scale land-use planning interventions (as opposed to
larger, regional or landscape-scale forest or natural lands
vegetative management). The survey is being conducted by the
Board of Forestry & Protection, Governor’s Office of Planning and
Research (OPR), Community Wildfire Planning Center (CWPC), and
the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL
FIRE).
It is critical that the results reflect the perspectives and
experiences of counties, and CSAC would like to highly encourage
counties to take the
survey by Tuesday, August 17. If you have
any questions please contact Catherine Freeman (cfreeman@counties.org) and Ada
Waelder (awaelder@counties.org).
