A webinar hosted in partnership between the Western Fire Chiefs Association and Vibrant Planet focused on strategies for securing Community Wildfire Defense Grant (CWDG) funds in 2025 and prioritizing risk mitigation projects. Experts discussed the key components of the CWDG program and how technology, such as Vibrant Planet’s platform, can help wildfire risk managers build outcome-focused metrics and streamline the planning process.
