The Oregon Office of Emergency Management has posted the Oregon Wildfire Recovery Update for Feb. 15 to the Oregon Wildfire Response & Recovery website. View today’s full Wildfire Recovery update here. Please note, that after 18-months of recovery since the Labor Day 2020 fires, this is the final issue of this publication. For more information, please visit wildfire.oregon.gov.

“While this is the last time our office will distribute the Wildfire Recovery Update, OEM will maintain strong connectivity and partnerships with our local and federal partners, non-profit organizations and the private sector until each community has fully completed its recovery process,” said Andrew Phelps, the Director of the Oregon Office of Emergency Management.
