Latah County Wildfire Protection Plan

...excerpt from the Latah County 2005 CWPP Forward

[2005] The Latah County All Hazards Mitigation Plan was developed during 2004-05 by the Latah County Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee in cooperation with Northwest Management, Inc., of Moscow, Idaho. Three bound documents have been produced as part of this planning effort.

The Latah County Wildland-Urban Interface Wildfire Mitigation Plan, in addition to being compatible with FEMA requirements, is also compatible with the National Fire Plan, the Healthy Forests Restoration Act and the Idaho Implementation Strategy for the National Fire Plan.
