Oregon Wildfire Program Partners

In 2021, the Oregon Legislature passed Senate Bill 762, a comprehensive wildfire preparedness and resiliency bill to help Oregon be better prepared to meet the increased wildfire threat. To rise to the challenge wildfire poses to Oregonians, several state agencies are working in coordination with local and federal partners to improve wildfire preparedness. These efforts aim to give people and communities the tools and knowledge to be better protected against wildfire.

A team of six wildland fire specialists helps seek regionally relevant solutions that make sense in the diverse ecological and social contexts of their areas. The Extension Fire Program is a source of non-regulatory, science-based information and assistance related to fire ecology, community wildfire preparedness, landscape resilience, social-organizational processes, and educational design.
