Abstract
If recent years are any indication, the presence and risks of wildfire smoke will become more common in Lane County in future years, not less. The effects of climate change will continue to exacerbate the risk of these fires’ size and intensity. This memo sets out to outline the range of known policy interventions that might be taken by Lane County and other governments to protect vulnerable populations when wildfire and their smoke affect our area.
