Pacific Power is hosting a public forum in Central Point today to discuss its latest efforts to mitigate the threat of wildfire.

The public forum is scheduled from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Mace Watchable Wildlife Memorial Center at the Jackson County Expo. The forum will also be livestreamed at "us06web.zoom.us."

During this conversation, Pacific Power representatives will detail the important steps they take during wildfire season to keep customers and communities safe. This forum is an opportunity to learn about the company's comprehensive wildfire mitigation plans in Oregon.

Key topics include ongoing efforts to strengthen their system, advance weather monitoring capabilities, enhanced vegetation management practices, enhanced safety setting for wildfire season and Public Safety Power Shutoffs -- an important tool when wildfire risk makes it necessary to turn off power to ensure safety.

Pacific Power officials said protecting their customers and communities while providing safe, reliable electricity is their highest priority.

If you have any questions or would like to request a reasonable accommodation to attend this event, please call 1-(888)-221-7070.
