Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP)
Draft CWPP
The El Dorado County Office of Wildfire Preparedness and Resilience, in partnership with the El Dorado County Fire Safe Council, is pleased to announce the release of the Draft 2025 Western El Dorado County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP).
The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors will be presented the final draft of the CWPP on February 3, 2026 for review and adoption.
What is a CWPP?
A CWPP is a collaborative, community-driven plan that provides strategies and actions to better prepare for, respond to, and recover from wildfires. The plan identifies specific wildland fire risks facing communities and neighborhoods and provides prioritized recommendations for local communities and agencies to reduce those risks.
Why is the CWPP Important?
- Enhance life safety and preparedness for responders and the public
- Reduce the wildfire threat to values and assets at risk
- Create healthy and productive fire adapted communities
- Develop a CWPP that prioritizes mitigation actions for identified risks and hazards on the west slope of El Dorado County
- Enhance the resiliency of Western El Dorado County to future climate change impacts
- Improve accountability, public trust, and efficiency in implementation of action items identified in the CWPP
