Abstract
The purpose of this guide is to assist communities in monitoring and
evaluating their Community Wildfire Protection Plans to strengthen future
implementation. The steps in this guide outline an effective process for
evaluating how well communities have addressed the goals and objectives
of their CWPPs and for updating their plans. The Guide recommends collaborative strategies to bring together project
partners to conduct the evaluation, gather relevant data, and write the evaluation report. This evaluation will draw out the experiences and lessons learned in collaborative efforts among community members,
local government, municipalities, land management, and state agencies, thereby pinpointing the key accomplishments
and challenges facing the community in implementing its fire plan. The benefits of an evaluation may also include the
identification of strategies to help communities plan for and reduce the risks of other natural disasters.
