Recognizing the importance of preparedness, the Town has created a Community Wildfire Resiliency Plan, designed to empower our community to be resilient and better prepared for wildfire events.

This Plan was developed with the support of a wildfire consultant from Diamond Head Consulting Ltd, and identifies wildfire risk and proposes a series of strategic actions to mitigate wildfire risk to the community. Actions include education, changes in Town policy, and active forest management on public land. Although this Plan does not include implementation of strategies, it lays a foundation for future implementation.

The Plan will be updated periodically to account for changing conditions in its forests and to address community needs.
