U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley are urging the Department of the Interior to support Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek\u2019s request for emergency authorizations to allow flexibility in grazing schedules and use alternative grazing areas in response to the current wildfire disaster in Oregon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe grazing flexibility requested by Gov. Kotek will be an incredibly important lifeline to our rural communities that have been devastated by these wildfire disasters,\u201d Wyden and Merkley wrote to Interior Secretary Deb Haaland. \u201cTogether, we can ensure that these rural communities receive the federal support they need to recover and continue to play a critical role as important partners for natural resource management.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wyden and Merkley\u2019s letter to Secretary Deb Haaland comes shortly after the senators expressed their support for Gov. Kotek\u2019s request to the Department of Agriculture for a Secretarial Disaster Designation that would authorize emergency haying and grazing. As Oregon faces a dangerous and challenging megafire season, which has already burned well more than 1 million acres of public and private lands, government leaders believe support from both the Interior and Agriculture departments is urgently needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wyden and Merkley have worked with Oregon communities and Senate colleagues to address the catastrophic wildfires raging across the state and the entire West. Most recently, Wyden introduced the Grid Resilience Improvement through Dedicated Assistance Act, a bill that would adequately fund public utilities to make energy grids more resilient against climate disasters, such as megafires. Building on Merkley and Wyden\u2019s leadership, Congress passed a FY24 funding package, which included roughly $4 billion in wildfire suppression, $7 million in wildfire smoke mitigation and $31 million in forest restoration for Oregon and nationwide and continued the pay raise for the federal firefighting workforce provided by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
