TWO WAYS TO GET INVOLVED AT BBR

2. GET A HEAD START ON RAKING YOUR NEEDLES

In our ongoing effort to improve fire safety, the Maintenance Department will be coordinating one FREE needle pickup for each homeowner lot. You must schedule your pickup with the Maintenance Department at 541-595-1527 BEFORE JUNE 1 to qualify for this free pickup.

Please have all needles raked BEFORE you schedule pickup as debris piles will be collected at the discretion of the Maintenance Department. Please arrange debris in fewer large piles rather than many small piles. Piles must be located where large equipment can easily pick them up. Piles should also be clear of obstructions such as trees, rocks, water shutoffs, meters, hydrants, landscaping, and driveway lights. If the equipment cannot access the piles, they will not be picked up.

Wildfire Community Preparedness Day is a campaign that encourages people and organizations everywhere to come together on a single day to take action to raise awareness and reduce wildfire risks. It is held annually in the United States and Canada on the first Saturday in May.

WHAT IS WILDFIRE COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS DAY? Wildfire Community Preparedness Day is a national campaign that encourages people and organizations everywhere to come together on a single day to take action to raise awareness and reduce wildfire risks. It is held in the United States and Canada on the first Saturday in May. This year’s Prep Day is focused on what residents can do on and around their home to help protect against the threat of wildfires. The idea for the day came from a survey asking middle school students in Texas and Colorado about how they wanted to learn about wildfire. They wanted to be a part of something that was making a difference by improving wildfire safety where they lived. When the program was piloted in 2013 in Colorado, both students and adults were eager to be a part of a day to raise awareness about wildfire safety involving hands-on risk reduction activities. Wildfire Community Preparedness Day is now celebrated across the nation.

WHO SUPPORTS THIS EFFORT? The National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®), a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping save lives and reduce loss from fire and electrical hazards, manages Prep Day. It is sponsored by State Farm.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE THAT MATTERS! You can help promote wildfire protection by participating in risk reduction projects on or before the first Saturday in May. Studies show that measures taken at the home and in the area within 100 feet of it, known as the Home Ignition Zone (HIZ), have a significant impact on minimizing damage and loss. Something as simple as clearing the immediate 5-foot zone around the home can assist in making a huge difference in avoiding a catastrophe.
