CALIFORNIA CLIMATE INVESTMENTS WILDFIRE PREVENTION GRANTS PROGRAM

CAL FIRE’s Wildfire Prevention Grants Program provides funding for fire
prevention projects and activities in and near fire threatened communities that
focus on increasing the protection of people, structures, and communities.
Funded activities include hazardous fuels reduction, wildfire prevention
planning, and wildfire prevention education with an emphasis on improving public
health and safety while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.


Project Types and Activities – The three qualifying projects and activities
include those related to hazardous fuels reduction, wildfire prevention
planning, and wildfire prevention education. Examples of qualifying projects and
activities include, but are not limited to, the following:

HAZARDOUS FUELS REDUCTION

 * Vegetation clearance in critical locations to reduce wildfire intensity and
   rate of spread
 * Creation or maintenance of fuel breaks in strategic locations, as identified
   in CAL FIRE Unit Fire Plans, a Community Wildfire Protection Plan, or similar
   strategic planning document
 * Removal of ladder fuels to reduce the risk of crown fires
 * Creation of community-level fire prevention programs, such as community
   chipping days, roadside chipping, and green waste bin programs
 * Selective tree removal (thinning) to improve forest health to withstand
   wildfire
 * Modification of vegetation adjacent to roads to improve public safety for
   egress of evacuating residents and ingress of responding emergency personnel
 * Reduction of fuel loading around critical infrastructure to maintain
   continuity of government and other critical services, including, but not
   limited to fire, police, water, sewer, roads, etc.
 * Purchase of fuel modification equipment not to exceed $250,000. Equipment is
   an item of $5,000 or more per unit cost and has a tangible useful life of
   more than one year
 * Supplies include items under $5,000 per unit cost. Chainsaws are an example
   of a supply item and are not considered equipment
 * Projects to improve compliance with defensible space requirements as required
   by Public Resources Code Section 4291 through increased inspections,
   assessment, and assistance
 * Projects to reduce the flammability of structures and communities to prevent
   their ignition

WILDFIRE PREVENTION PLANNING

 * Creation or update of strategic wildfire planning documents, such as:
   * Evacuation plans
   * Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP)
   * Local Hazard Mitigation Plans
   * Safety Elements

WILDFIRE PREVENTION EDUCATION

 * Development and implementation of public education and outreach programs.
   Programs may include technical assistance, workforce recruitment and
   training, and equipment purchases
 * Workshops, meetings, materials creation, and other educational activities
   with the purpose of increasing knowledge and awareness of information that

 * Activities are subject to CAL FIRE approval
