Chaa-lamali, TEIP's outdoor classroom, falls under Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) Protection Districts and the Western Lane Districts.

As the fire season in our area is predicted to become more extreme and longer, we should take decisive action this year.  Acquiring a 300+-gallon firefighting water trailer for Chaa-lamali is a practical step, with an estimated cost of around $18,500.  This will allow us to meet the on-site mobile water requirements for fire suppression, as required by ODF.

Tayas Yawks, a culturally responsive community-based organization serving Native American, rural, low-income, justice-impacted, and other historically underserved residents, is prepared to help meet these needs, but additional emergency funding is necessary to expand our response safely and effectively.
