A new online tool by the Oregon Department of Forestry will help community planners and the public learn about wildfire risk across the states.
The tool named “Oregon Wildlife Risk Explorer” will give users the most current wildfire risk information.
The site allows users to view, ask and download data, generate maps and reports specific to their area as well as access information to interpret the data for planning. It also provides other relevant data and resources.
“Using the Explorer, homeowners can see where and how likely wildfires are to occur in their area. This is based on historical wildfire data, local vegetation, and weather.
