These grants are from the National Fire Plan's Community Assistance Program. Many more grants exist for fire mitigation, but are dependent upon communities developing a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). A CWPP is a written and agreed upon document that identifies community issues and risks regarding wildfire response, hazard mitigation, community preparedness and structure protection. The process of the CWPP can also assist a community in clarifying or refining its priorities for the protection of life, property, and critical infrastructure in the wildland-urban interface. Several of our neighboring communities already have a CWPP or are in the process of finalizing one. Windcliff, Thunder Mountain and the "Y" of the Rockies have combined to form the East Portal CWPP, Glen Haven is about to finalize their's. Pinewood Springs and Allenspark are in the process of developing CWPP's as well. Because this is a prime tourist destination and our economy is heavily dependent upon the tourist dollar, we need to make sure that our scenic landscapes are protected as well as our infrastructure. Developing a CWPP for the Town of Estes Park should not be a difficult task as we know many of values at risk. We already have a wildfire hazards map for the community as well as other maps the plan may require. In order to be competitive for future federal and state funding for fire mitigation work/beetles, the Town of Estes Park would need to have a CWPP. Copies ofthe Larimer County Sample Communi) Wildfire Protection Plan and Guidelines for Implementation are in your packet. The Interagency Fire Education /Wildland Urban Fire Education position has been funded for six years through a grant that Rocky Mountain National Park obtained from the Community Assistance component of the National Fire Plan funds. One of the intended duties of this position is to assist communities in our area in developing CWPP's. The process of developing a CWPP can be expected to take 6-12 months. BUDGET/COST: The cost of developing a CPWPP is estimated at $500. The small amount of funding that will be needed can be covered under the fire department's existing budget; grant funds are available and will be requested for the development of the CWPP. RECOMMENDATION: Staff is requesting approval to develop a CWPP for the town of Estes Park. Members of staff, including the Wildland Urban Interface Fire Educator, will develop the CWPP for the Town, with the assistance of the Colorado State Forest Service, Larimer County Wildfire Specialist and US Forest Service representatives. Participation by other town officials and staff will be essential in developing the CWPP and understanding all of the values at risk in our community. Completion of the DRAFT CWPP is set for October 31, 2008. COMMUNITY WILDFIRE PROTECTION PLANS 4, f - - 21- 1- 7 - -4 A *#4 -2- 1- -9 .3/ 4 .

This CWPP supplements several Larimer County documents as reference documents, which are included in a separate table, Information in this plan will be provided at a level of specificity determined by the community and appropriate agencies. The process of developing a CWPP can help a community clarify and refine its priorities for the protection of life, property, and critical infrastructure in the wildland-urban interface. It can also lead community members through valuable discussions regarding management options and implications for the surrounding watershed. Community / Agencies / Interested Parties Involved The following representatives were involved in the development of the [I*48*6mmunity name] CWPP. Persons identified as "core team" were responsible for primary development and decision-making for the plan. Persons identified as "extended team" provided input and expertise to the core team to ensure that the document reflects the highest priorities of the community. Core Team Name Organization [Insert commwlity name] Homeowners Association andfor Community Representatives [Insert community name] Fire Department Colorado State Forest Service Extended Team Name Organization Larimer County Wildfire Safety Program Relevant federal land management agencies (USFS, BLM, etc.) Other organizations designated by the core team (Environmental groups, utilities, recreational groups, etc.) Identification of Values at Risk Using technology and local expertise, [insert itommuni@ liaiRGre] has developed a base map and narrative of the community and adjacent landscapes of interest. This map will act as a visual aid from which community members can assess and make recommendations. The base map includes, at a minimum, the following: â€¢ Inhabited areas and values at potential risk to wildland fire â€¢ Areas containing critical human infrastructure-such as evacuation routes, municipal water supply structures, and major power or communication lines-that are at risk from wildfire â€¢ A preliminary designation ofthe community's Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) zone. Community Risk Assessment The purpose ofthe community risk assessment is to help to prioritize areas for treatment and identify the highest priority uses for available financial and human resources. This section is divided into five areas of concern: â€¢ Fuel Hazards - An evaluation of vegetation conditions within the community and on adjacent lands. Products included are: 1 Larimer County Wildfire Safety Program - Subdivision Wildfire Hazard Review 1 Larimer County Fuel Hazard Map ' Risk of Wildfire Occurrence - An evaluation of the probability of fire ignition within the community and surrounding lands. â€¢ Risk to homes, businesses, and essential infrastructure - An evaluation of the vulnerability of structures within the community to ignition from firebrands, radiation, and convection. Also includes an evaluation of risks to essential infrastructure such as evacuation routes, water supply structures, and power and communication lines. Products may include: ' Structure Assessment (construction materials, structure access, defensible space, etc.) " Infrastructure Assessment (utilities, water, community roads, power lines, etc.) â€¢ Risk to Other Community Values - An evaluation of risk to other community values such as wildlife habitat, recreation and scenic areas, water supplies, and landscapes of historical, economic or cultural value. â€¢ Local Preparedness and Firefighting Capability 1 Initial response to all fire, medical and associated emergencies is the responsibility of [insert locai )*/6 department#ame].
