COOS COUNTY SEEKS INPUT ON COMMUNITY WILDFIRE PROTECTION PLAN UPDATE Draft plan and feedback survey available until 4/6/2026 For the past year, Coos County Emergency Management has been working with local stakeholders, community partners, and the county’s fire districts to update the 2011 Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). The CWPP outlines the county’s vulnerabilities to wildfire hazards and details various strategies and actions designed to reduce wildfire risk. The CWPP’s proactive mitigation efforts can help the county become more resilient, protecting lives and property while promoting long-term sustainability. Debbie Mueller, Coos County Emergency Coordinator, who led the plan update, says, “The Coos County Community Wildfire Protection Plan update comes at a time when other parts of our state are still recovering from devastating wildfires. We are asking the community to stay vigilant in protecting our community.” Please take time to review the draft plan, StoryMap, and provide feedback via the survey with the following links: CWPP Draft: https://emberalliance.sharepoint.com/sites/ResilientCommunitiesandEcosystems/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx?id=%2Fsites%2FResilientCommunitiesandEcosystems%2FShared%20Documents%2FProjects%2FCWPP%2FOR%2FCoos%20County%2F09%5FDeliverables%2FCurrent%20Review%2FCoosCounty%20CWPP%20Update%5FDRAFT%20FOR%20PUBLIC%20REVIEW%5F03%2E2026%2Epdf&parent=%2Fsites%2FResilientCommunitiesandEcosystems%2FShared%20Documents%2FProjects%2FCWPP%2FOR%2FCoos%20County%2F09%5FDeliverables%2FCurrent%20Review&p=true&ga=1 Story Map: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/2d806531371746fc8ff107a90a968da0 Survey: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=Ty-8LE47nkKo_Y2iRCxRurKemoVKaIlAhvmg2kXWxMhUNko2WVdFUkhEM1ZRUDhGSE9VTElIOTNVMC4u These links will only be available until April 6, 2026.
