Dear Friends and Neighbors,
On Wednesday, February 17, 5:30 to 8:30 PM, the Oregon Legislature House Special Committee on Wildfire Recovery will hold a public hearing for Southern Oregonians to share about your post-fire recovery experiences. This is an opportunity to inform state representatives about your shelter, basic needs, clean-up and rebuilding, and to help us understand where our efforts should be focused during this legislative session.
So many have experienced the devastating impacts of last year's fires, and you know more than anyone about what you need to recover and reestablish your homes, livelihoods and communities. I urge you to deliver either verbal testimony live/virtually during the meeting, or to submit written testimony. Note there will be Spanish interpretation available to interpret any testimony delivered in Spanish. Instructions to submit testimony and watch the hearing are linked here and included below.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your thoughts, insights and expectations. These are challenging times, and your input can help us know how best to serve you.
Best,
State Representative
Oregon House District 5 - Southern Jackson County
Vice-chair, House Special Committee on Wildfire Recovery
