Wildfire
and smoke can affect all Oregonians, no matter where you live. Rapidly changing
weather patterns, like high winds, can have wide ranging and unpredictable
impacts on wildfires. Whether you are staying home or travelling, it’s
important to know how to keep you and your loved ones safe.

To
ensure all Oregonians remain safe during wildfire season, we urge everyone to
stay tuned into these communications channels and follow all official safety guidelines
related to air quality and recreation:
