The purpose of the 2022 Kenai Peninula Borough Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) update is to
- provide a peninsula-wide scale of wildfire risk and protection needs,
- bring together all responsible wildfire management and suppression entities in the planning area to address identified needs, and
- provide a framework for future planning and implementation of necessary mitigation measures.
The 2022 CWPP aims to assist in protecting human life and reducing property loss due to wildfire throughout the KPB. Of note, this 2022 updated plan is the first peninsula-wide CWPP, using the All Lands All Hands approach developed in collaboration with citizens, non-government, government and Tribal entities that regularly met as a core team throughout the project performance period. The plan is compiled from reports, documents, data and the original 17 community-level CWPPs produced between 2006 and 2009. All versions of the CWPPs have been developed in response to the federal Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003.
The plan is provided in whole or by sections listed below.The plan and the project story map may also be accessed at www.kpb.us/cwpp.
