7.2. 7 Ready Action Plan <br />Critical to implementation of this CWPP are the identification and implementation of ready project <br />action items targeted at achieving a reduction in the number of unplanned human caused ignitions <br />and fires, as well as the negative impacts of wild land fires in Kittitas County. This section of the plan <br />identifies and prioritizes mitigation actions, including treatments that can be implemented in the <br />county to pursue its fire management goals. <br />As there are many land management agencies and thousands of private landowners in Kittitas <br />County, it is reasonable to expect that differing schedules of adoption will be made and varying <br />degrees of implementation will be accomplished across various ownership. The primary land <br />management agencies in Kittitas County, USFS, the State of Washington, and TNC are participants in <br />this planning process and have contributed to its development. Where available, their schedules of <br />land treatments have been considered in this planning process to better facilitate a correlation <br />between their identified planning efforts and the efforts of Kittitas County. Kittitas County <br />encourages the building of disaster resistance in normal day-to-day operations. By implementing <br />plan activities through existing programs and resources, the cost of mitigation is often a small <br />portion of the overall cost of a project's implementation. All risk assessments and subsequent <br />recommendation were made based on 2017 conditions. <br />In addition, the CWPP subcommittee does not intend restrict funding to projects identified as high <br />priority. A project that may be a high priority for a specific community may not be a high priority at <br />the county level. Regardless, the project may be just what the community needs to mitigate a <br />disastrous outcome. The flexibility to fund a variety of diverse projects based on applicable criteria is <br />a necessity for a functional mitigation program at the county and community level. <br />Community Wildfire Protection Plan 65 September 2018
