CIFFC Wildland Fire Prevention and Mitigation Action Plan

In 2021, under direction from the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers (CCFM), FireSmart Canada joined with the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC) to extend the reach of FireSmart (Intelli-feu) concepts to all regions of Canada where wildland fire is a risk and to expand the collaboration among more partners to achieve, with their collective strengths and insights, what no one agency can do alone. This Action Plan has evolved from many conversations among those partners - all genuinely energized by the need to reduce wildland fire risk for Canadians. The goal of this Canadian Wildland Fire Prevention and Mitigation Action Plan is to make Canada more resilient to wildland fire risk and a changing climate by: • building collaboration among partners and the public; • creating information products that are effective and culturally appropriate; • developing tools and sustaining initiatives that assess and reduce risk; and • extending a risk-reduction focus across forested regions to support healthy and resilient forests for future generations.
