Kaua‘i Fire Department says these community meetings are an important opportunity for residents, landowners and stakeholders to help prioritize wildfire safety actions, identify mitigation projects and strengthen coordination between the community and partner agencies.
Public participation is critical as Kaua‘i County works collaboratively to enhance wildfire preparedness, reduce wildfire risk and protect lives, property and natural resources around the island.
The Community Wildfire Protection Plan provides a framework for communities to actively engage in wildfire planning and prevention.
Input gathered during the community workshops will help shape strategies to improve defensible space, emergency access, fuel reduction efforts, public education and interagency coordination.
All community members are encouraged to attend and provide input.
“By working together, Kauaʻi can build a stronger, more resilient island in the face of increasing wildfire threats,” said Kauaʻi Fire Department in its announcement about the rescheduled workshops.
