In 2015, CAL FIRE awarded FIREsafe MARIN a $123,200 grant from the SRA Fire Prevention Fee Fund to update the 2005 Marin County Community Wildfire Protection Plan, and integrate it with the Marin County Fire Department Unit Strategic Fire Plan.

A science-based hazard risk assessment was performed using up-to-date, high resolution topography and fuels information combined with local fuel moisture and weather data. The assessment was focused on identifying areas of concern though out the county and beginning to prioritize areas where wildfire threat is greatest. Hazard mitigation efforts can then be focused to address specific issues in the areas of greatest concern. The City of Mill Valley was an active participant in this process.

Marin County will reduce wildland fire hazards using a collaborative and integrated approach that includes the following strategies:

• Pre-fire planning
• Public education and outreach to promote and implement fire adapted community practices
• Vegetation management and fuels reduction at the county and community levels
• Reducing structure ignitability by promoting and enforcing building codes, ordinances and statutes

This document provides the framework for future collaboration that can be used to identify, prioritize, implement and monitor hazard reduction activities throughout the county. It is intended to be a living document that will be updated periodically by FIREsafe MARIN and the Marin County Fire Department in collaboration with a broader group of county stakeholders.
