The Shoshone County Wildland Urban Interface Fire Mitigation Plan was originally drafted in 2002 with project facilitation and support provided by Northwest Management, Inc. After the enactment of the HFRA in 2003, the Shoshone County WUI committee began mapping the official Wildland Urban Interface boundary, which was adopted by Shoshone County in 2004. In 2006, the committee developed a prioritized list of fuels reduction treatments that was amended to the WUI Plan. In 2008, the committee again amended the 2002 Plan to include an Appendix A (CWPP prioritized project update) and Attachment D (Firefighting Assistance Funds priority lists). The committee amended the Plan again in 2009 with updated versions of Appendix A and Attachment D. The 2010 Community Wildfire Protection Plan expands on the wildfire chapter of the Shoshone County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, which was updated in 2009.
...excerpt from the Shoshone County CWPP 2011 Revision
The process of developing a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) can help a community clarify and refine its priorities for the protection of life,property, and critical infrastructure in the wildland–urban interface on both public and private land. It also can lead community members through valuable discussions regarding management options and implications for the surrounding land base. Local fire service organizations help define issues that may place the county, communities, and/or individual homes at risk. Through the collaboration process, the CWPP planning committee discusses potential solutions, funding opportunities, and regulatory concerns and documents their resulting recommendations in the CWPP. The CWPP planning process also incorporates an element for public outreach. Public involvement in the development of the document not only facilitates public input and recommendations, but also provides an educational opportunity through interaction of local wildfire specialists and an interested public.
