The San Benito Wildfire Resilience Program (SBWRP) is hosting two community meetings in August to provide residents with information and gather input for the countywide Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). The CWPP for San Benito County was last updated in 2010. As wildfire frequency and severity continues to increase, it is more important than ever for communities to have a plan in place to prepare for, reduce the risk of, and adapt to wildland fire events. Your participation will help to ensure that the updated CWPP considers values important to you! Dinner will be provided to registrants, courtesy of UC Cooperative Extension. Please share this information with your neighbors and friends who live in high wildfire risk areas of San Benito County. Details and registration for each meeting attached and below:
