As summer looms, many Southern Oregonians have raised questions about the status of preparations for the 2022 wildfire season.
On Monday, June 13, OR State Representative Pam Mash will host an online forum that will bring together leaders and experts from local, state and federal agencies to share how they are planning to keep our communities safe.

Spanish and ASL interpretation will be available.
