Did states and tribes use the same process to identify communities in wildland/urban interface areas?
States and tribes were asked to follow a consistent process established by an interagency group at the national level, or state teams could use existing community assessment systems when those systems met or exceeded the standardized process. Although this state-level flexibility has resulted in some variance among state submissions, the Secretaries believe the application of a standardized process has resulted in greater nationwide consistency for the revised lists.
