Community Wildfire Protection Plan

What is the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP)?

Developing a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) is essential to helping our City be more resilient to wildfires. CWPPs are collaborative, community-driven frameworks that outline local priorities for wildfire risk mitigation.

As urban growth continues and the threat of wildfires increases due to changing climate conditions, Hillsboro focuses on proactive, collaborative, and effective wildfire risk reduction strategies to protect its community and environment.

The Plan integrates an approach focusing on prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery strategies, particularly emphasizing the City’s green spaces and greenspace interface areas, where the urban-wildland interface poses significant wildfire risks.
