Gilpin County is in the process of updating the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) and will be hosting an open house event. This event will provide community members the opportunity to learn about the CWPP, engage with Gilpin County staff and emergency personnel, and ask questions. 

The event will begin with a short presentation and wildfire preparedness and CWPP resources will be available throughout the open house. 

If you are unable to attend in person but would still like to learn about the CWPP and provide comments, please use our digital comment form.  

Public input is a crucial aspect of CWPP development and ensures the actions recommended in the plan suit the current and future needs and conditions of the county. An online survey has been created to allow community members to communicate their thoughts and concerns on wildfire. Please take 15-20 minutes to complete the Gilpin County Community Survey. Responses are anonymous unless you wish to receive future notifications about the plan.
