Central Oregon Disaster Restoration

Wildfire Preparedness

Greetings, cherished readers! Today, we’ll discuss a topic of great importance: wildfire preparedness in our beloved Central Oregon. While we have been fortunate not to experience recent wildfires, it is vital to remain vigilant and equipped to face potential future challenges. In times of adversity, Central Oregon Disaster Restoration (CODR) stands ready to provide support and restoration services, ensuring our community emerges stronger, should the need arise.

Understanding the Threat

Living in the heart of nature’s splendor, we must comprehend the reality of wildfires. Dry conditions, coupled with natural factors and human activities, create the perfect storm for potential wildfire outbreaks. It is our shared responsibility to prepare ourselves and protect our homes and businesses from this formidable threat.

Creating Your Wildfire Preparedness Plan

  • Assess Vulnerabilities: Identify potential fire hazards in and around your property. Clear away dry vegetation, leaves, and debris from your yard and gutters. Trim tree branches near structures to reduce the risk of fire spreading.
  • Create Defensible Space: Establish a defensible space around your property by creating a buffer zone that is free from flammable materials. This space acts as a barrier to slow or halt the progress of a wildfire.
  • Develop an Evacuation Plan: Plan multiple evacuation routes and ensure all family members are familiar with them. Have a designated meeting point and a communication plan in case of separation.
  • Prepare an Emergency Kit: Assemble an emergency kit with essential supplies, including non-perishable food, water, first-aid items, medications, important documents, and a battery-powered radio.
  • Stay Informed: Keep an eye on local news and weather updates. Sign up for emergency alerts and follow instructions from local authorities.
  • Collaborate with Neighbors: Strengthen community bonds by discussing wildfire preparedness with your neighbors. Consider forming a neighborhood wildfire preparedness group to share knowledge and resources.
