We are actively in the process of developing another compelling agenda for the public on Saturday 4/29 around this year’s theme, “From Planning to Implementation.” As we prepare for the publication of the Routt County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP), we’ll be offering a glimpse into the final draft and discussing ideas for implementation at this year’s conference.  Check back for agenda updates or sign up for our Quarterly Newsletter here. 

Routt County was recently witness to two wildfires within its boundaries, in both North and South Routt, with some loss of structures. Fire is and will continue to be part of our environment and we all are exposed to some risk, no matter who we are or where we live. Increased fire frequency and intensity is the reality, and the complex challenge of managing, mitigating and living with those fires will continue to be front and center during this year’s Routt County Wildfire Mitigation Conference. We will have local and regional experts present on steps that we can all take – from the individual homeowner to our community stakeholders – to better plan and mitigate risks, and how to be better prepared in the event of a wildfire.
