Bend, OR – The Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC) will host a public input meeting on Tuesday, January 7th, to gather community feedback on the updated 2024 Crook County Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). The meeting, scheduled from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM, will take place at the OSU-Extension Clover Building, located at 498 SE Lynn Blvd, Prineville, OR.
The CWPP is a county-wide, strategic assessment that identifies the risks, hazards, and potential mitigation and prevention opportunities related to wildfires in Crook County. It is reviewed annually, with a comprehensive update occurring every five years. This updated version of the plan reflects changes and improvements aimed at better protecting local communities from wildfire threats.
The draft of the 2024 CWPP is now available on COIC’s website for public review. The meeting will provide an opportunity for residents to voice their opinions, suggest improvements, and engage with officials about how the county plans to address wildfire risks in the coming years.
COIC encourages all community members to attend and participate in the process, which plays a crucial role in shaping the future of wildfire preparedness and response in Crook County.
