Our May 16th, 2024 General Meeting was a Community Conversation at Hilyard Community Center focused on Wildfire Response. The conversation was focused on the following questions:
• What agencies provide what response if Eugene South Hills catches fire this summer?
• What evacuation routes are designated?
• Where have fire breaks in the south hills been created?
• What is involved in maintaining them?
• What other mitigation work has been done?
• What can a homeowner do to minimize risk?
The video of the entire meeting can be found on Youtube here.
Explaining each agency’s role are panelists from
- Eugene Springfield Fire
- Oregon Department of Forestry
- Eugene Parks and Open Spaces
- City of Eugene
- Northwest Youth Corps
A big thank you to John Q of Whole Community News for making the video available.
The SHiNA Board wants to acknowledge and thank Ian Appow of ECO Solutions for organizing this event. And last but not least, the well-prepared panelists, experts and leaders of their agencies.
