TRAVIS COUNTY, Texas — The Austin-Travis County Wildfire Coalition is seeking public input for updates to the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) now through July 6.
Updated every ten years, the CWPP is designed to identify areas of wildfire risk, prioritize mitigation efforts and recommend actions to reduce the impact of wildfires in the county.

More specifically, the plan serves as a roadmap with wildfire mitigation and community preparedness strategies, including recommendations for hazardous fuels reduction projects, homeowner risk reduction practices and guidance for policymakers on wildfire response capabilities and evacuation planning.
The wildfire coalition says public input helps ensure that the CWPP reflects local concerns and priorities.
