In addition, I&rsquo;m going to keep calling for immediate action in Congress and from the White House to not only respond to these fires, but also to tackle the root issues that are causing these increasingly terrifying wildfire seasons in the first place.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>la p\u00e1gina web, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/es\/wildfires\/\">https:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/wildfires<\/a>, compiles information from a variety of local, state, and federal public health and safety sources. It includes the latest on the status of an emergency declaration request that would help provide Oregon communities with emergency protective measures such as search and rescue, evacuation transportation, and food distribution. The webpage also includes evacuation guidance for individuals who are isolating or quarantining due to coronavirus infection and tips for maintaining clean indoor air.&nbsp; The page will be updated with resources for navigating federal assistance if and when further assistance becomes available.<\/p>\n<p>The webpage launch follows a push by Senators Merkley and Ron Wyden, as well as U.S. Representatives Peter DeFazio, Earl Blumenauer, Greg Walden, Kurt Schrader, and Suzanne Bonamici, for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/es\/news\/press-releases\/oregon-delegation-pushes-for-rapid-disaster-relief-for-wildfires-2020\/\">rapid approval of Oregon Governor Kate Brown&rsquo;s request for federal disaster relief<\/a>. The delegation announced Friday that the initial emergency declaration request had been granted.<\/p>\n<p>Merkley has long been at the forefront of protecting communities from wildfires, using his Senate Appropriations Committee position to fight for critical firefighting resources and recovery funding for affected communities. Merkley has also introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/es\/news\/press-releases\/merkley-wyden-introduce-major-package-of-bills-to-help-communities-harmed-by-wildfire-smoke-2019\/\">legislaci\u00f3n para ayudar a las comunidades afectadas por el humo de los incendios forestales<\/a>, as\u00ed como la legislaci\u00f3n que <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/es\/news\/press-releases\/merkley-introduces-bill-to-reduce-severity-of-wildfires-protect-communities\/\">crear oportunidades econ\u00f3micas en las comunidades que dependen de los bosques y al mismo tiempo reducir el riesgo de incendios forestales catastr\u00f3ficos<\/a>. Last year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/es\/news\/press-releases\/merkley-announces-trump-administration-will-keep-cccs-open\/\">Merkley convenci\u00f3 al secretario de Agricultura, Sonny Perdue, de revertir el rumbo de un desastroso plan para cerrar los Centros de Conservaci\u00f3n Civil.<\/a>, que son sitios de Job Corps operados por el Servicio Forestal de EE. UU. que ayudan a combatir incendios.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Merkley is helping to lead the charge in the Senate for the bold, decisive action needed to address climate chaos, which is causing hotter and drier summers and fueling catastrophic wildfire seasons.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C.&mdash;
