UPDATE: Community Wildfire Protection Plan workshops rescheduled

LĪHU‘E – The Kaua‘i Fire Department announces that the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) workshops that had previously been cancelled due to inclement weather have been rescheduled.

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 the County works collaboratively to enhance wildfire preparedness, reduce wildfire risk, and protect lives, property, and natural resources across Kauaʻi.

The CWPP provides a framework for communities to actively engage in wildfire planning and prevention. Input gathered during these workshops will help shape strategies to improve defensible space, emergency access, fuel reduction efforts, public education, and interagency coordination.

Workshops will be held on the following dates and locations:


* April 16: Virtual via Zoom, 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., Workshop Zoom Link [ https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/Lz2ex5X9Q5CscZTWPjaTGw?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery#/registration ]
* April 21: Anaina Hou, Kīlauea, 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
* April 23: Kōloa Neighborhood Center, Kōloa, 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

All community members are encouraged to attend and provide their input. By working together, Kauaʻi can build a stronger, more resilient island in the face of increasing wildfire threats.

For more information, please contact the Kaua‘i Fire Department Prevention Bureau at 808- 241-4985 or kfdpreventionbureau@kauai.gov.
