How we Help

Wildfire Planning for your Community

Community Wildfire Resiliency Plans

Frontera develops Community Wildfire Resiliency Plans (CWRPs) to help communities reduce wildfire risks and enhance preparedness. These plans assess local wildfire hazards, identify critical values at risk, and outline actions to mitigate potential threats.

 

By fostering collaboration among communities, government agencies, and stakeholders, our CWRPs play a crucial role in protecting lives, property, and natural resources. Implementing these plans is essential for building resilient communities that can withstand and recover from wildfire events.

Wildland Urban Interface Wildfire Risk Reduction Plans

Wildland Urban Interface Wildfire Risk Reduction Plans (WUI WRRs) are essential tools in British Columbia for mitigating wildfire risks in areas where urban development meets natural landscapes. Frontera collaborates closely with provincial land managers to assess wildfire threats, prioritize areas for fuel management, and align with broad forest and wildfire management policies.

 

These plans provide detailed guidance on the location, priority, and development of fuel management projects on Provincial Crown land, ensuring that communities are better protected from the devastating impacts of wildfires.

Community Forest Plans

Community Forest Wildfire Plans are vital for managing wildfire risks within community forests in British Columbia. Similar to Wildland Urban Interface Wildfire Risk Reduction Plans, these plans assess local wildfire hazards, identify critical areas at risk, and develop strategies to mitigate potential threats.

Frontera works closely with community forest stakeholders to provide specific guidance on fuel management and wildfire preparedness, ensuring alignment with broader forest management policies. Implementing these plans helps protect property and natural resources, making community forests more resilient against wildfire events.
