Greater Egypt Regional Planning and Development Commission, along with Williamson County Fire Protection District are working to create a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) for Williamson County, Illinois.

This survey is intended for land managers of parks, campgrounds, hunt clubs, and similar properties; as well as water, gas, and electric utility companies to gather data about wildfire risk, preparedness, and future needs for the county. By taking this survey you agree that your responses will be published in the Williamson County CWPP. The final Plan will be free and publicly available upon completion.

This project has been funded through the USDA Forest Service Cohesive Fire Strategy Grant Program.
