RI1.4Engage a qualified professional (such as a Local FireSmart Representative) to update or complete formal FireSmart assessments of critical infrastructure within the Wildfire DP area.

The City provides essential services to the community, including water supply, potable water and wastewater treatment, road and traffic maintenance, solid waste disposal (in partnership with the RDCO), fire prevention, and recreational and cultural programs. The infrastructure supporting these services plays a key role in maintaining the economy and serves as the initial line of defense against disruptions, such as wildfires. As a result, it is necessary to ensure that this infrastructure meets appropriate FireSmart standards.

This is particularly important for high-risk wildfire areas identified in the Wildfire DPA.
