General Instructions
This is a tool developed to assess CalFire Unit fire plans (UFPs) based on the California Fire Plan, the California Governor’s PLATO document, FEMA’s Multi-Hazard Mitigation Planning Guidance (Blue Book), and the Western Governor’s Association 10-YIP Implementation Plan.
Scoring System (unless otherwise specified)
Policies shall be scored “0” if not present at all, “1” if mentioned only briefly or suggested (i.e., an exhortative policy statement), or “2” if discussed in some detail or mandated by the plan (i.e., a prescriptive policy statement)
Unless otherwise specified in the coding instrument you should follow these instructions:
1. Review all of the items in a section of the coding instrument. Read the corresponding section of the Unit fire plan.
2. Complete each item in the section of the coding instrument as follows:
a. Read the instructions carefully. For a reminder on how to score the question, click the question mark beside the question.
b. Click the appropriate radio button. Do not click any other option.
c. Mark the page number where the item material can be found in the question immediately following each policy item; if there is no corresponding page number leave blank.
d. Make any notes you feel are appropriate (such as something that might jog your memory if an item was unclear and you were not confident of your interpretation) in the question following each policy item.
e. Notes are highly encouraged for items which do not fully meet the standard (for example, receive 0 or 1 out of a possible score of 2, or receive 0 out of a possible score of 1)
3. Review your coding of the section to ensure that all items have been completed fully and accurately. (This step is particularly important as it may be hard to remember your thought process at a later date. It is much better to go slowly and thoroughly now than have to redo coding later!)
