Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal to Host SB762 Listening & Understanding Sessions

The OSFM is hosting virtual listening and understanding sessions in March 2022. These sessions will assist the OSFM in informing the strategic investment of two new funding opportunities for Oregon communities with wildfire preparedness and response.

The discussions and resulting outcomes from the listening and understanding sessions will ensure that the OSFM focuses efforts where communities best need investments from the specific funding. The information and feedback you provide will be critical to shape programs and investments during the current and coming biennia.

These sessions are designed for two separate topic areas and will be an opportunity for stakeholders to ask questions, seek clarification, and make recommendations for the OSFM’s next steps. Please sign up for either or both sessions. There will be a separate session offered specifically to Fire Chiefs on March 15, 2022.
