A New Vision for Wildfire Planning Report
More than 107,000 homes in Oregon, worth $12.7 billion and representing 8 percent of the state’s housing supply, face high or very high risk of wildfire. In 2017 alone, wildfires threatened more than 20,000 structures. With growing urgency, it is critical that Oregon’s land use system be used and strengthened to keep development out of high-risk areas, such as forests, rangelands, farmlands, and the wildland-urban interface.
