ODF Puts Wildfire Risk Map On Hold

(Salem, OR) -- Oregon's controversial wildfire risk map is on hold. An updated draft of the map was supposed to be released in March, but the Legislature is considering 11 bills that could affect the map, or even eliminate it. The wildfire risk map was supposed to rank parts of the state where properties were at high risk of wildfire. Building codes were expected to change to make properties safer. The map had several discrepancies and communities opposed it. The Oregon Department of Forestry will now wait until the Legislature finishes its work before moving forward.
