The primary goal of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan is to describe VMUS' existing programs, practices, and measures that effectively reduce the probability that VMUS' electric supply system could be the origin or contributing source for the ignition of a wildfire. To support this goal, VMUS regularly evaluates the prudent and cost-effective improvements to its physical assets, operations, and training that can help reduce the risk of equipment-related fires.

The secondary goal of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan is to improve the resiliency of the electric grid. As part of the development of this plan, VMUS assesses new industry practices and technologies that will reduce the likelihood of an interruption (frequency) in service and improve the restoration (duration) of service.
