• Step five: Develop a community risk assessment. The Subcommittee relied on Pacific Northwest Quantitative Wildfire Risk Analysis from USFS Pacific Northwest Region 6 and the Structural Vulnerability factors for each of the ten Communities at Risk. • Step sic Establish community hazard reduction priorities and recommendations to reduce structural ignitability. Based on the assessments, the Subcommittee produced items in the action plan for each rating area. The Subcommittee also made recommendations to reduce structural vulnerability based on information in the assessments and local knowledge. • Step seven: Develop an action plan and assessment strategy. The Subcommittee identified an action plan for key projects; roles and responsibilities for carrying out the purpose of the CWPP; potential funding needs; post fire recovery considerations; and the evaluation process for the CWPP itself. Step eight: Finalize the Community Wildfire Protection Plan. A draft of the Kittitas County CWPP was available for public comment for 30 days prior to the final signing and approval of the plan. Interested parties provided comments during this period. The Kittitas County CWPP was mutually accepted and signed by local fire districts, the DNR State Forester, KFACC, and the Kittitas County Board of Commissioners as demonstrated in the Declaration of Agreement. 2.5 Additional State and Federal CWPP Guidelines Integration This CWPP includes compatibility with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requirements for a Hazard Mitigation Plan, while also adhering to the guidelines proposed in the National Fire Plan, and HFRA. This CWPP has been prepared in compliance with: • The National Fire Plan: A Collaborative Approach for Reducing Wildland Fire Risks to Communities and the Environment 10 -Year Comprehensive Strategy Implementation Plan (USDA 2006) • HFRA • The FEMA`s Region 10 guidelines for a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan as defined in 44 Code of Federal Regulations parts 201 and 206 and as related to a fire mitigation plan chapter of Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan • National Association of State Foresters — guidance on identification and prioritizing of treatments between communities (2003). The objective of combining these complementary guidelines is to facilitate an integrated wildland fire risk assessment, identify pre -hazard mitigation activities, and prioritize activities and efforts to achieve the protection of people, structures, the environment, and significant infrastructure in Kittitas County while facilitating new opportunities for pre -disaster mitigation funding and cooperation.
