Jackson County Community Wildfire Protection Plan 2035

This Community Wildfire Protection Plan for Jackson County serves as an update to the 2015 plan, outlining a strategic approach to wildfire risk reduction. The plan defines the wildland-urban interface, conducts a comprehensive risk assessment considering fuel hazards, fire history, and values at risk (human life, property, water resources, recreation, energy, and communications), and models potential fire intensity. It provides recommendations to reduce structural ignitability, details accomplishments since the previous plan, and outlines current and future mitigation projects, focusing on fuel reduction, community education, and interagency collaboration to safeguard residents, property, and natural resources.
