ROUNDUP MT, November 7, 2024 – Musselshell County is developing an updated Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) to evaluate and address the threat of wildfire throughout Musselshell County. A CWPP is a planning document that helps local government, fire departments, private citizens, and other entities to plan for, respond to, and recover from wildfire events. The updated CWPP will help to secure grant funding for wildfire risk reduction projects, prioritize efforts across the landscape, and provide the community with recommendations and resources to reduce wildfire risk to their homes and property. As a part of this process, an updated Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) will be developed for Musselshell County along with identification of priority areas and projects.
The CWPP process is driven by local stakeholders and community input, and Musselshell County wants and needs public input to develop a CWPP that reflects the unique needs and values of the community. They will host an Open House to provide the public with an opportunity to learn more about the CWPP purpose and process and provide feedback on the draft WUI and priority areas.
The Open House will take place on November 7th from 6:00pm-8:00pm at the Senior Center located at 610 2nd St W, Roundup, MT. Please join us for a light dinner and conversation regarding your Wildfire Community needs!!
