Senate Bill 23-166 established a Wildfire Resiliency Code Board in the Division of Fire Prevention and Control to help enhance community safety and resiliency from wildfires through the adoption of codes and standards.
Stakeholder and Public Engagement Sessions
The Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code Board will hold sessions to solicit stakeholder feedback on the draft statewide wildfire resiliency code and the draft state fire hazard map for the code. Townhalls will be 90-minute, virtual sessions hosted on zoom.
The public is invited to join.
Those interested in providing comment at a townhall are asked to rsvp via the stakeholder and public feedback form. Written comment may also be submitted to the WRCB at cdps_dfpc_wrcb@state.co.us.
We recognize there was a limitation with zoom during today's session for local government offices and professions and the administrator will be scheduling another meeting for this group in the coming week. Comments, and requests for the recorded video and slides from today can be submitted to cdps_dfpc_wrcb@state.co.us.
