KEZI<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nEUGENE, Ore. \u2014 El Senador Jeff Merkley pas\u00f3 un tiempo en Eugene el domingo, visitando el \u00e1rea para un ayuntamiento como parte de su iniciativa de visitar anualmente los 36 condados del estado. Antes de reunirse con los electores, el senador hizo paradas para hablar sobre la producci\u00f3n de viviendas y la respuesta a los incendios forestales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Su primera parada fue en HOPE Community Corporation, un brazo de la Sociedad St. Vincent de Paul del condado de Lane. Fue a su ubicaci\u00f3n de 888 Garfield Street para recorrer las instalaciones de producci\u00f3n de casas prefabricadas que se encuentran all\u00ed. Merkley qued\u00f3 impresionado por lo lejos que han llegado HOPE y St. Vincent De Paul en el desarrollo de las casas m\u00f3viles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAqu\u00ed hay una colaboraci\u00f3n de toda la comunidad dise\u00f1ada para desarrollar casas de calidad real que pueden estar disponibles a un precio mucho, mucho m\u00e1s bajo, este es un desarrollo emocionante\u201d, dijo Merkley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Terry McDonald, presidente de HOPE y director ejecutivo de St. Vinnies, habl\u00f3 sobre las ambiciosas metas del proyecto de casas prefabricadas, ya que planean construir 120 unidades por mes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HOPE est\u00e1 trayendo a m\u00e1s de 100 trabajadores para hacer las casas y est\u00e1 ofreciendo programas de capacitaci\u00f3n para estudiantes de secundaria para que vean c\u00f3mo es trabajar en un entorno de fabricaci\u00f3n. Merkley encontr\u00f3 esa perspectiva bastante emocionante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEntonces, si van a aprender el placer de hacer cosas con sus manos y la posibilidad de carreras en esos campos, realmente necesitamos que esas escuelas, es decir, las escuelas secundarias, tengan programas como este que creen esa oportunidad. ," \u00e9l dijo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Merkley estuvo acompa\u00f1ado en las instalaciones de HOPE por el Senador Estatal James Manning y la Representante Estatal Pam Marsh. Las primeras unidades de casas m\u00f3viles certificadas saldr\u00e1n a finales de octubre. Para McDonald, HOPE y St. Vincent De Paul, la visita del senador significa mucho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLo que es m\u00e1s importante, se enfoca en esta empresa particularmente importante de desarrollar casas m\u00f3viles para un mercado que realmente necesita un producto asequible\u201d, dijo McDonald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Su segunda parada fue en la Universidad de Oreg\u00f3n y su Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n y Pr\u00e1ctica del Humo de Incendios Forestales, donde se reuni\u00f3 con el personal del centro y habl\u00f3 sobre la legislaci\u00f3n en la que est\u00e1 trabajando para fortalecer la resiliencia del estado ante el humo y el calor de los incendios forestales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La financiaci\u00f3n para el centro de investigaci\u00f3n fue asegurada por el Senador Merkley como un proyecto crucial iniciado por la comunidad. Los expertos informaron al senador sobre el futuro clim\u00e1tico de Oreg\u00f3n y mostraron un nuevo sensor de humo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sin embargo, la parte clave de la gira fue el anuncio del senador sobre la nueva legislaci\u00f3n en la que est\u00e1 trabajando.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPresentar\u00e9 la pr\u00f3xima semana dos proyectos de ley\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cEl primer proyecto de ley ser\u00e1 la 'Ley de Comunidades Resilientes al Humo y al Calor'\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La legislaci\u00f3n que propone esencialmente har\u00eda tres cosas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La primera es tener no solo uno, sino cuatro centros de investigaci\u00f3n sobre el humo en otras universidades de todo el pa\u00eds, similar al de la Universidad de Oreg\u00f3n. Dijo que la idea es que podr\u00e1n colaborar de manera m\u00e1s eficiente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La segunda parte de este proyecto de ley permitir\u00eda a la Agencia de Protecci\u00f3n Ambiental federal realizar m\u00e1s investigaciones sobre los impactos del humo y el calor en la salud p\u00fablica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El tercero pondr\u00eda a disposici\u00f3n subvenciones para educaci\u00f3n e infraestructura, asegur\u00e1ndose de que los espacios p\u00fablicos est\u00e9n equipados con equipos de filtraci\u00f3n de aire adecuados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El segundo proyecto de ley propuesto por Merkley permitir\u00eda a la Agencia Federal para el Manejo de Emergencias brindar refugio, reubicaci\u00f3n y monitores de humo a las comunidades que enfrentan los desaf\u00edos del humo y el calor. El proyecto de ley tambi\u00e9n proporcionar\u00eda una compensaci\u00f3n para las peque\u00f1as empresas afectadas por el humo que pasa por su \u00e1rea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLa 'Ley de Declaraci\u00f3n de Emergencia por Humo de Incendios Forestales' es para reconocer estos eventos humeantes\u201d, dijo. \u201cNo tenemos una estructura en este momento para tratarlos de la forma en que tratamos a los tornados, huracanes o terremotos\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El Senador Merkley cree que con los recientes incendios forestales canadienses y su impacto en la calidad del aire, ahora es el momento perfecto para presentar sus dos proyectos de ley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCreo que el senador Wyden y yo vamos a poder no solo tener una coalici\u00f3n de senadores occidentales, donde se han localizado los incendios, sino que una mayor parte del pa\u00eds comprenda que este es un desaf\u00edo muy importante que puede afectarnos a todos y por lo tanto, obtenga m\u00e1s apoyo e impulso para estos proyectos de ley\u201d, dijo Merkley.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
