Wildfire Recovery Funds Headed To Oregon

Oregon Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden announced Wednesday over $262 million is headed to Oregon to help the state recover from wildfires.  The U.S. Forest Service will allocate nearly $1.1 billion in disaster assistance funding nationally to support post-disaster recovery and other emergency needs as a result of natural disasters occurring over the past three years.  Merkley is Chairman of the Interior Appropriations Subcommittee, which funds the Forest Service.  National forests and grasslands will be provided with specific funding for selected projects that meet certain criteria.  This funding will also be used for state and private forestry programs to meet recovery needs on non-Federal lands in states that experienced damage from wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes and other natural disasters.  This funding will also be allocated to complete data collection and program delivery tasks delayed by natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic.
