Dear friends and neighbors,
On Tuesday, February 15, 5:30-7:30, the House Special Committee on Wildfire Recovery will hold a remote/virtual public hearing to listen to Oregonians who are survivors of the state’s September 2020 wildfires, including Almeda and South Obenchain in Jackson County.
While we are seeing the welcome signs of a rebound, recovery is a long, slow and hard process. My House colleagues and I are eager to hear firsthand reports to help us understand both progress and ongoing challenges.
Instructions to participate by phone or internet are included below in English & Spanish.
All members of the public are invited to share their stories. I hope you will consider participating – and please share with anyone you know who might be interested.
Best,
State Representative
Oregon House District 5 - Southern Jackson County
