Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP)

Body

On February 9, 2021 Santa Barbara City Council unanimously adopted the 2021 Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) and certified the program Environmental Impact Report.

The CWPP provides a framework for mitigating wildland fire impacts throughout the City. This recent update was made possible through CAL FIRE Fire Prevention Grant funding and updates the City's 2004 Wildland Fire Plan.
