County Wildfire Protection Plan
The Community
Wildfire Protection Plan, CWPP, provides details on the risks, hazards, and
valuable facilities to protect in case of a wildfire. Harney County
received grant monies from the US Department of the Interior (BLM administered) to conduct this
planning effort. Review the materials and see how this effort might help
your property here in the County.

Walsh Environmental conducted this planning process. Regular
meetings were held to review assessments and receive input from those that
have the most experience with fire in the County.
The minimum
requirements for a CWPP as described in the HFRA are:
- Collaboration: A CWPP must be collaboratively
developed by local and state government representatives, in consultation
with federal agencies and other interested parties. Prioritized Fuel Reduction: A CWPP must identify and
prioritize areas for hazardous fuel reduction treatments and recommend the
types and methods of treatment that will protect one or more at-risk
communities and essential infrastructure.
- Treatment of Structural Ignitiability: A CWPP must
recommend measures that homeowners and communities can take to reduce the
ignitability of structures throughout the area addressed by the plan.
