Every year, more wildfires threaten the places we call home, the air we breathe, and the firefighters we depend on – no matter where we live in Oregon.
But here’s the good news: You can do something about it.
Here’s how.
Get your home ready
Plants catch fire. So the farther your home is from trees, grasses, and shrubs, the less likely it is their embers will land on your roof, deck, or plantings, setting them on fire.
The strategy is called creating “defensible space,” and here’s how you can make it happen.
Get your family ready
Wildfires and their smoke aren’t just a wilderness problem. They’re an Oregon problem.
It pays to be ready for smoke – so you and yours can breathe safely – and to evacuate if wildfires get too close.
Getting ready is so easy. Why risk it?
Get your community ready
Community-level planning is crucial to wildfire mitigation, response, and recovery.
Learn how to access funding and tools designed for communities, and get help with emergency plans and risk reduction.
Let’s ensure everyone survives if and when wildfire arrives.
Help get Oregon ready
While residents safeguard against wildfire, we also need policymakers to craft the right programs and legislation to get us ready as a state.
