National Wildfire Programs Database
The National Wildfire Programs Database (NWPD) is a national database of state and local wildfire hazard mitigation programs. NWPD serves as a clearinghouse of information about nonfederal policies and programs that seek to reduce the risk of loss of life and property through the reduction of hazardous fuels on private lands.
