Lake Tahoe Basin Hub – Community Wildfire Protection Plan
The purpose of the Lake Tahoe Basin Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) is to unite the diverse communities within the Lake Tahoe Basin in a comprehensive and collaborative effort to safeguard lives, homes, critical infrastructure, and the landscape of the Tahoe Basin from the threat of catastrophic wildfires. This CWPP serves as a strategic blueprint, fostering a shared vision among federal, state, tribal, local authorities, residents, and stakeholders to proactively assess wildfire risks, implement targeted mitigation strategies, and enhance preparedness measures across the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI).
This CWPP seeks to identify and prioritize areas most susceptible to wildfire impacts, thereby guiding the thoughtful allocation of resources and efforts towards fuels reduction projects, defensible space, and wildfire-resilient landscapes. The Lake Tahoe Basin CWPP is ever evolving and adaptable, constantly reviewed and updated to reflect changing environmental conditions, technological advancements, and lessons learned from past experiences.
