Following the Carr Fire, WPI teamed with Wildland Professional Solutions to work with the City of Redding to identify ways to strengthen wildfire safety. Our team met in-person with city staff, including the fire marshal, planning director, and assistant city manager, to tour areas of the city affected by the Carr Fire. The team reviewed local plans and ordinances to determine gaps in wildfire policies or regulations affecting the built environment. In 2019, the team delivered a set of final recommendations to the City and conducted a follow up workshop in 2021 with the Redding City Council to offer additional guidance on implementation. Many of these activities were conducted as part of the Community Planning Assistance for Wildfire program, which WPI co-founded in 2015.
