Protection Priorities Clause Samples
The Protection Priorities clause establishes the order in which various security interests, liens, or claims are recognized and enforced in relation to a particular asset or set of assets. In practice, this clause specifies which party’s rights take precedence if multiple parties have competing claims, such as lenders with different types of collateral or creditors in a bankruptcy scenario. By clearly defining the hierarchy of claims, the clause helps prevent disputes and ensures that all parties understand their position in the event of enforcement or liquidation, thereby reducing uncertainty and potential legal conflicts.

A. Firefighter safety
B. Threat to human life
C. Threat to property (e.g., structures, improvements, and communities) and natural/cultural resources.
Protection Priorities. The State and Federal Agencies agree that they mutually share responsibilities for all values at risk from wildfire within their respective DPAs. Further, each agency agrees that incident management objectives will provide for firefighter safety first and recognize the following priorities:
1. Threat to human life.
2. Threat to property (e.g., structures, improvements, and communities) and natural/cultural resources. To the extent that incident objectives allow, the State and Federal Agencies agree to honor and actively pursue remedies to emergency fire situations that are consistent with what the other agencies would have done had they been present. Specifically, the State and Federal Agencies acknowledge the necessity of demonstrating diligence in protecting infrastructure from wildfire and protecting wildland and watershed from infrastructure fires.

Once firefighters have been committed to an incident, these human resources become the highest value to be protected. Setting priorities for protecting communities and community infrastructure, other property and improvements, and natural and cultural resources shall be done based on human health and safety, the values to be protected and the protection costs.
