This project will support community resilience and cleaner air for thousands of residents and school children in Deschutes County. Funds will provide air filters to two rural schools (both of which are also emergency shelters) in Sunriver and La Pine, creating a healthy indoor environment for students on smoky days and for wildfire evacuees. This grant will also enable OEC to do a statewide survey of schools in wildfire-prone areas to identify their need for similar investments, and we will share that information with state and local decision makers.
