5. Community Wildfire Protection Plans & Grant Administration • For projects not on federal land: Is the proposed project in an area addressed by a CWPP? Is the project included in the CWPP? At what priority? Is it in a WUI in the CWPP? • For projects on federal land: Is the project in an area addressed by a CWPP? Does it implement a treatment recommended in the CWPP? Does the treatment proposed by the agency match a method recommended in the plan? • For all projects: Is the project identified as primarily protecting the community and essential infrastructure or does it primarily serve to protect other community values?More on CWPP…

6. Community Wildfire Protection Plan Mapping Requirements • Map inhabited areas at risk, areas containing infrastructure, and the WUI zone. • Rate fuel hazard areas: H, M, L threat • Rate wildfire occurrence: H, M, L • Rate protection levels for homes, businesses, infrastructure: H, M, L • Rate other values needing protection: H, M, L • Identify levels of preparedness • Prioritize fuels treatment areas and preferred methods

7. Needs Assessment Results (Continued) ORGANIZATION Incident Managers AZ Dept. of Emerg. Mgt.
