On December 14, 2010, the Monterey County Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 to sign the MCCWPP, which has been signed by:
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection,
The Monterey County Fire Chiefs Association,
Fire chiefs representing fire districts, volunteer fire departments, and military bases,
The United States Forest Service,
The Bureau of Land Management,
The Monterey County Sheriff's Department,
The Fire Safe Council for Monterey County,
The Chair of the Monterey County Board of Supervisors, for the full Board.
The MCCWPP was written following the collaborative process in the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003, has been signed by the required signatories, and is now complete.
Life-protecting wildfire fuel reduction grants are awarded based on a point system that includes consideration of whether an area has a completed community wildfire protection plan. With a completed plan, grant applicants are at an advantage when applying for these highly competitive grants.
Please communicate with your representative on the Monterey County Board of Supervisors and thank him or her for voting to sign the MCCWPP and for their continuing support. Their contact information is at http://www.co.monterey.ca.us/cob/supervisor.htm.
