Sandia Heights Homeowners Association

Special Committee for Planning & Response to Wildfires

(Wildfire Preparedness Planning Committee—WPPC)

Board Approved on April 11, 2018

The community of Sandia Heights is a classic wildland-urban interface.  It is comprised of about 2200 properties with fire-favorable topography, geography, biology, meteorology, and demography.  There is limited emergency egress with choke-point entrances.  Currently, the community has no existing evacuation plan or organized preparation in the event of wildfires near or within the community.  Composition of the committee can consist of members of the SHHA Board of Directors as well as interested residents from the community.

The objective of this ad hoc committee is to create a SHHA-sponsored wildfire preparation and response plan.
