The Taos County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) was developed collaboratively by local and state government representatives using periodic core team meetings to provide input and to review plan preparation progress. General public meetings were conducted throughout the county to determine community values. Utilizing data from a variety of sources, the process of identifying the at risk areas was achieved through a series of maps, which displayed different intensity levels for the components that constitute wildfire hazard and risk. The different intensity levels were assigned a numerical value and resulted in a threat level ranking from extreme to low. The extreme and high threat levels when combined with community values produced a risk assessment that identified the wildland urban interface surrounding the County communities. Communications and education are essential to community involvement and adopting defensible space concepts, regulations and codes. The New Mexico Forestry Division and local fire districts were key organizations in implementing the resulting recommendations. |
