GLOUCESTER — The City of Gloucester and Cape Ann Communities, in collaboration with local fire response entities, relevant stakeholders, and SWCA Environmental Consultants, is pleased to announce the commencement of the public review period for the 2024 Cape Ann Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). The review period is scheduled from April 30, 2024, through May 14, 2024.
The 2024 Cape Ann CWPP is a collaborative effort to enhance the safety and resilience of our community from hazardous wildfires. This plan aims to identify and address vulnerabilities while emphasizing the protection of lives, property, and critical resources.
As we enter this crucial public outreach phase, Cape Ann seeks the active participation and engagement of its community members. We invite all community members (full and part-time residents, property owners, individuals in the workforce) to review the draft CWPP and provide invaluable feedback to ensure its effectiveness and alignment with the unique needs of the region.
Public feedback is instrumental in shaping a comprehensive and responsive plan for wildfire mitigation.
The draft CWPP will be available for review and comment from April 30 to May 14. To access the draft CWPP and participate in the review process, interested parties can click here.
To submit comments on the draft, participants can visit the comment submission form by clicking here.
We extend our sincere appreciation to the community members, organizations, and agencies involved in this collaborative endeavor. Together, we will create a proactive path towards a more resilient, fire-adapted Cape Ann community.
