Kotek Pauses Wildfire Risk Map Appeals

(Salem, OR) -- Oregon Governor Tina Kotek has paused appeals to the Wildfire Risk Map. It shows properties in the state that are in high fire areas that will need to increase fire prevention for new construction when codes are updated. Kotek says Oregonians have raised concerns about the maps and the Legislature is considering changes. Property owners still need to appeal by March 10th, but the appeals process won't start until after the Legislative session ends this summer.
