Community Wildfire Safety Through Regulation: A Best Practices Guide for Planners and Regulators

From the National Fire Protection Association:

How this manual can help you:

  • It provides planners and public officials with sound technical and legal justifications for adoption of wildfire regulations.

  • It provides tips on what planners should do before the community embarks on a formal wildfire safety regulation adoption process.

  • It helps communities evaluate their wildfire safety needs and choose tools that fit those needs.

  • It summarizes the best practices used around the country to address wildfire risk in the WUI.
