DescriptionLocationInstructors After a botched 2022 rollout and a series of legislative changes clarifying the purposes and limiting the uses of the map, the Oregon Department of Forestry has issued an updated DRAFT Wildfire Hazard Map, developed by scientists at Oregon State University. The draft map is open for public comment through August 18, 2024, with finalization expected by October 1st, 2024. Once finalized, the map will be used to identify which properties will be subject to new defensible space codes or fire-hardening building codes (those properties that are in the Wildland-Urban Interface and in a High Hazard Area). Join Dave Hunnicutt with the Oregon Property Owners Association and Chair of the Governor’s Wildfire Programs Advisory Council to learn more about the maps, what they will and will not be used for, opportunities for comments, and forthcoming defensible space and home hardening requirements.
