REGION
DISASTER
Jordan Valley Rangeland Fire Protection Association
Request: $25,000
Requesting funds to partially cover the cost of a low boy trailer to tow a dozer to fire lines. This RFPA serves specifically Jordan Valley, Rome, Arock, Burns Junction, Rockville, and is comprised of volunteer fire fighters who intially respond to all to range fires in our area. Because volunteers are the initial attack to range fires before government resources arrive, it is crucial to have adequate equipment.
Ecosource Native Seed and Restoration
Request: $75,000
Application Materials
Eastern Oregon’s unprecedented wildfire impacts have created an urgent need for specialized expertise to understand what these fires have done to our landscapes and what successful recovery will require. EcoSource has established native-seed and restoration capacity, but we do not currently have dedicated wildfire ecology expertise to assess burned landscapes, identify restoration priorities, evaluate invasive-species threats, and translate those findings into native plant-material needs. EcoSource is seeking funding for a staff or contract employee, and has identified Trey Wall, an experienced local wildland fire and natural-resources professional, to provide this critical capacity.
Oregon State University Extension & Engagement
Request: $27,000
Application Materials
We want to supply box fan filters to improve air quality for smoke impacted people. We are working with local red cross organizations, fire districts, county emergency managers. We are the local trusted technical expertise and can provide education on building these fans.
Vale Rangeland Fire Protection District
Request: $42,000
The Vale Rangeland Fire Protection Association (RFPA) is requesting disaster‑resilience funding to purchase and outfit a road grader that will be used to create and maintain fire breaks across rangeland protection area. The region faces increasingly severe wildfire seasons, and the ability to rapidly construct and reinforce fire breaks is one of the most effective tools we have to keep rangeland fires small, protect rural communities, and prevent large‑scale disasters.
