Community Wildfire Resiliency Plan - Community Survey

The City of Salmon Arm is developing a new Community Wildfire Resiliency Plan (CWRP) to help guide short-, medium- and long-term wildfire preparedness and risk-reduction work in our community.

Your feedback will help the City better understand residents’ concerns, preparedness and priorities as the plan is developed.
