Community Wildfire Resiliency Plan
The District of Hope's Community Wildfire Resiliency Plan (CWRP) serves as a roadmap for reducing wildfire risk and strengthening community resilience.
Developed in collaboration with residents, community stakeholders, neighbouring First Nations, and wildfire professionals, the plan identifies local wildfire hazards and outlines actions that can be taken to better protect people, property, infrastructure, and natural areas.
Supported through provincial funding programs, the CWRP helps guide local wildfire preparedness, mitigation, response planning, and FireSmart initiatives throughout the community.
Why It Matters
Living in a forested environment means wildfire preparedness is an ongoing responsibility. The Community Wildfire Resiliency Plan helps the District:
-
Identify areas of elevated wildfire risk
-
Prioritize mitigation and fuel management activities
-
Support emergency preparedness and response planning
-
Guide FireSmart education and outreach programs
-
Strengthen long-term community resilience
Looking Ahead
The Community Wildfire Resiliency Plan will guide FireSmart and wildfire risk reduction efforts in Hope through 2030, helping ensure our community remains proactive, prepared, and resilient in the face of increasing wildfire risk.
Residents are encouraged to learn more about the plan, watch the overview video, and explore the recommendations that will help shape wildfire resilience efforts throughout the District.
