Wildfire Resiliency Planning

At Strategic we are dedicated to building forest resilience and safeguarding communities from the threat of wildfires. Our team of experienced Forest Professionals collaborates with First Nations leaders, municipalities, and emergency response agencies to create Community Wildfire Resiliency Plans and Fuel Management Prescriptions across BC. Strategic delivers a wealth of combined expertise through contracts with the Province of BC, First Nations, industry organizations, and municipal governments.

Landscape & Fuel Management

Strategic's experts turn field data and hazard analysis into site-specific Fuel Management Prescriptions (FMPs). These plans use local fire behaviour factors and fuel-free or low-threat areas to limit fire intensity below 2,000 kilowatts per meter. They reduce risk, aid safe suppression, and align with FireSmart standards, and local wildfire and resource management plans.

Prevention Planning & Risk Management

Strategic has extensive experience creating Community Wildfire Resiliency Plans (CWRPs) tailored to a community's unique values and regulations. We align project objectives with community priorities and environmental considerations to build CWRPs that deliver resilience against wildfires. Our CWRPs use wildfire risk analysis and field-verified stand data to map treatment areas that align with the seven FireSmart disciplines. We use a science-based methodology that blends local and provincial priorities with prevention and preparedness.
