Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Wheeler County CWPP and Educational Outreach, Fossil, Oregon" (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00190) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding announcement offered through a cooperative agreement. It is focused on natural resource and wildfire preparedness work under CFDA 15.228, the National Fire Plan, specifically tied to Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance. The core purpose is to support Wheeler County, Oregon in updating its Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP), originally developed in 2006, so the plan reflects current on-the-ground conditions, updated risk factors, and shifting community priorities. In addition to revising the plan itself, the project also emphasizes educational outreach so that community members and other interested parties understand the updated CWPP, can participate in the process, and can better prepare for and reduce wildfire risk.
The project objective is twofold. First, it calls for a substantive update of the Wheeler County CWPP to incorporate changes that have occurred since 2006. That typically implies revisiting wildfire hazard and risk assessments, updating maps and data inputs, re-evaluating values at risk in the wildland-urban interface, identifying new or evolving fuel conditions, and refreshing the list of prioritized mitigation actions. Second, it requires educational outreach to the broader community. In practice, this is meant to ensure the CWPP update is not just a technical document, but something that is communicated to local residents, landowners, and stakeholders through meetings, workshops, informational materials, or similar engagement activities so the plan is understood and can be acted upon.
Funding for the opportunity is listed with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000, with an award floor of $1 and an award ceiling of $10,000, and the announcement anticipates making one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, which means applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds to be considered. The only eligible applicants identified are county governments, which aligns with the CWPP focus and indicates the opportunity is intended to be pursued by Wheeler County or an appropriate county governmental entity.
The opportunity was posted and created on August 9, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 30, 2013. The archive date is August 8, 2014. The administering agency is the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management. Applicants were directed to retrieve full instructions and the application package via the announcement's application materials, and technical or access issues were to be routed to the grants management point of contact, Sheryl Dowley, Grants Management Officer, at 503-808-6243 or sdowley@blm.gov.
