IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Rep. Hoyle Releases Recording of Wildfire Preparedness Webinar with Oregon State Fire Marshal

For Immediate Release: July 10, 2025 

EUGENE, OR – Today, Representative Val Hoyle (OR-04) released the recording of yesterday’s Wildfire Preparedness Webinar which she hosted with special guest Oregon State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple. The event provided critical information for Oregonians on how to protect their homes and families as wildfire season intensifies across the state.

The virtual event covered:

  • The 2025 wildfire season outlook

  • Personal and household wildfire readiness

  • Alert systems available to Oregonians

  • Evacuation planning and ‘go bag’ essentials

  • Federal, state and private resources available to residents effected by wildfire

This webinar is a part of Representative Hoyle’s ongoing work to prioritize wildfire mitigation, community safety, and climate resilience at the federal level. It comes after she introduced the Wildfire Resilient Communities Act with Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley earlier this week, which would provide dedicated federal support to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires in Oregon and across the West, while also empowering communities to prepare for wildfires.
