Measure the potential for biomass facilities to facilitate fuel treatments that lower the risk faced by officially designated high fire risk communities. Communities At Risk were initially created under the auspices of the National Fire Plan, and represent officially designated high fire risk communities. Biomass facilities can provide an economic incentive for treating areas at risk or damaged by fire or pests, including areas in and around these communities. Many areas in need of treatment do not have this incentive available due to travel time between project areas and biomass facilities.
