Seven Oregon communities have received small grants to hold wildfire prevention projects on Wildfire Community Preparedness Day, May 5.
The seven –Grants Pass, LaPine, Lostine, Ukiah, Umpqua and two neighborhoods in Corvallis – will join 144 other communities nationwide that will work to reduce their wildfire risk on the same day.
The National Fire Protection Association’s Community Wildfire Preparedness Day gives people of all ages a chance to plan and participate in a risk reduction or a wildfire preparedness activity that makes their community safer. This is the program’s fifth year.
