Wildland-Urban Interface

This article presents the data analyzed from 13 case-study communities to explain how the characteristics of HFRA have encouraged communities to develop CWPPs which demonstrate their local, social and ecological contexts effectively. It discusses how the shortcomings in the HFRA provided communities the opportunity to progress and successfully build CWPPs based on their needs and conditions.
