City of Boulder to Host Virtual Public Webinar with Question and Answer Session about the Community Wildfire Protection Plan

On Thursday, April 25 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., the City of Boulder invites you to join a virtual public webinar about the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP).

The CWPP proactively identifies wildfire risks in the wildland-urban interface, which refers to areas where undeveloped lands meet the places where people live and work in Boulder. The CWPP, when complete, will serve as a guiding document that will assist the city and the Boulder community in making informed decisions with respect to wildfire preparedness and risk reduction.

“The community is encouraged to attend this webinar and learn about where the city is at in its work on the CWPP,” said Brian Oliver, Wildland Division Chief at Boulder Fire-Rescue. “We anticipate the final draft to be done by June, and this webinar is another great opportunity for community members to interact and ask questions.”

In this event, community members will hear a brief presentation on the CWPP process, current project status, public resources, and next steps. The webinar will finish with time for question and answer with the following panel members: Chief Brian Oliver (Boulder Fire-Rescue), Kerry Webster (Boulder Fire-Rescue), Meg Halford (Boulder County), Monika Weber (Boulder Office of Disaster Management), Paul Dennison (City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks), and Vicky Amato and Arianna Porter (both SWCA Environmental Consultants).

Oliver continued, “We encourage the community to attend this important webinar and give their input about how the city should plan, fund, and implement wildfire risk mitigation efforts. This is an important topic to help prepare our city for wildfires. This work impacts everyone who lives, works, or recreates in Boulder.”
