  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Protection from fire program review: implementation plan Author: Oregon Department of Forestry, Institute for Natural Resources This document describes strategies and specific actions that will be undertaken to implement recommendations that emerged from a comprehensive review of the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) Protection from Fire Program. The fire funding/budgeting review was conducted by ODF in 2004 as directed by the 2003 Oregon Legislature. State Forester Marvin Brown expanded the review to include six topical workgroups involving a diverse group of stakeholders. Each workgroup met several times in 2004 and developed a report detailing their strategies and recommendations for revising, refining and updating program components. Recommendations from each report were collated into a master document, clarified and integrated by the Steering Committee, and further refined based on stakeholder input. ODF proposes to implement Fire Program Review recommendations using a two-pronged approach of rapidly implementing relatively straightforward action items while at the same time identifying and initiating the sustained efforts that will be needed to accomplish the more difficult and complex high priority tasks.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Protection from fire program review: final report Author: Oregon Department of Forestry, Institute for Natural Resources Oregon’s Protection from Fire Program is among the premier wildfire protection programs in the western U.S. and the largest program within the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF). The program provides wildfire protection on about 15.8 million acres of mostly privately-owned Oregon forestland. Private and state interests in protecting Oregon forests from fire have been intertwined since the early 1900s when ODF was created. The State Forester was charged with providing a complete and coordinated fire protection system. This was accomplished by working with the existing forest protection associations and, eventually, expanding their responsibilities. The complete Protection from Fire Program has not been reviewed for several years. The 2003 Oregon Legislature directed ODF to address specific funding issues and recommend emergency fire insurance funding and coverage strategies (Budget Note #3, Appendix A). State Forester Marvin Brown directed ODF to conduct a broader review of the program, including all major program components. The purpose of the review was to identify ways to maintain and improve the program to ensure continuation of effective and efficient fire protection for Oregon's forests and adjacent communities.
