Action Plans

An Action Plan is your community’s multi-year workplan: the defensible-space activities you intend to complete, the parcels they target, the costs, and the responsible parties. Firewise USA® reaccreditation requires an updated plan each year.

Creating a new plan

The new-plan form gives you a title, a date range, and a description. Once created, you’ll add line items — each one a specific action tied to a parcel and a budget.

Working a plan

The detail view is where you build the plan out: add line items, attach inspection findings, track invested dollars and volunteer hours against each item, and mark items complete as they get done.

Workflow tips

Build a new plan from the previous year’s plan as a starting point — most line items repeat year to year.
Link each line item to the inspection findings that justify it. The generated Firewise packet pulls the linked findings into the appendix automatically.
Mark line items In Progress the moment work starts so the dashboard’s progress meter is accurate.

The sub-pages in this section break out plans, projects, owner enrollment, and funding in detail.
