San Benito Wildfire Resilience Program Virtual Community Meeting

The Community Wildfire Protection Plan for San Benito County is being updated. Join us on May 8th from 6:00 pm to 7:15 pm via Zoom to learn more about the update process and schedule, ask questions and get answers about the Community Wildfire Protection Plan, and help identify community priorities for the plan. A Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) is a community-based plan focused on identifying and addressing the local threats of wildfire. Updating San Benito’s CWPP can help residents understand current wildfire hazards and risks for communities and resources, identify and prioritize areas for wildfire risk reduction projects, create opportunities for funding, and increase collaboration among residents, fire management agencies, and local businesses. Core collaborators on the update include the San Benito Fire Safe Council, San Benito Agricultural Land Trust, San Benito Resource Conservation District, San Benito Office of Emergency Services, San Benito County Cattlemen’s Association, University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources Cooperative Extension, City of Hollister Fire Department, California State Parks, Amah Mutsun Land Trust, Bureau of Land Management, CAL FIRE and National Park Service. The consultant team supporting this CWPP update includes Environmental Science Associates (ESA) and Spatial Informatics Group.
