Statewide Wildfire Maps Now Available
The Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) and Oregon State University have completed an updated set of wildfire maps. These updates were made with substantial input from the public and local governments over the last 12-18 months.
- The new wildfire maps address:
- Adjustments for hay and pasturelands;
- Adjustments for northwest Oregon forest fuels;
- Adjustments for certain irrigated agricultural fields; and
- Corrections for verified anomalies identified by county planners.
The wildfire hazard zones and the wildland-urban interface mapping is complete and final versions are now available on the Oregon Explorer website. Notifications are being mailed to impacted property owners and should be expected to arrive over the next several days.
For more details on this mapping process, see the news release from the ODF here.
