This document outlines the key elements and considerations for developing an effective fire prevention and mitigation plan. It recommends that plans represent current management decisions and trends, include education programs to inform all users, and focus efforts on the leading causes of unwanted human-caused fires. Planning elements should identify at-risk areas, communities, and values and include risk analysis, fire history descriptions, and measures to reduce catastrophic fire potential. Community Wildfire Protection Plans are also addressed, with a focus on collaboration between local governments and agencies to prioritize hazardous fuel reduction projects that protect at-risk communities.
